Reliable Linux clusters from SteelEye and Linux NetworX cooperation

Salt Lake City 23 January 2001 SteelEye Technology entered an OEM agreement with Linux NetworX, a provider of large-scale clustered computers for Internet, industry and research fields. Linux NetworX will offer SteelEye's LifeKeeper for Linux Next Generation Enterprise Reliability platform in the solutions it provides to eBusiness customers requiring the highest standards of availability, reliability and performance for their business-critical systems, data and applications on Linux.

Linux NetworX designs Linux cluster systems for high performance and high availability needs. Evolocity is a complete cluster solution, including computational hardware and versatile management software, ClusterWorX. Evolocity systems can outperform supercomputers and enterprise-class servers for a fraction of the cost. Cluster technology is a method of linking multiple compute nodes together to form a unified, more powerful system.

SteelEye's LifeKeeper for Linux maximizes the high availability of clustered Linux systems and applications by monitoring system and application health, maintaining client accessibility and providing uninterrupted data access regardless of where clients reside -- on the corporate intranet, extranet or Internet. LifeKeeper utilizes industry-proven technology to automatically restore application services by either restarting them locally or relocating them to another server in the cluster. This functionality helps LifeKeeper users to eliminate risks associated with a single point of failure and allows Linux systems to meet the stringent availability requirements of mission-critical operations by creating a fault resilient environment.
