- SteelEye Technology Inc., a provider of data and application availability
management solutions for Linux and Windows, announced the release of
"LifeKeeper for LAMP". Running on the Linux operating system, the
combination of Apache web server, MySQL database and the script engines, PHP,
Perl or Python deliver all of the components needed to build secure, scalable
and dynamic websites. Together, these open source tools provide a world-class
platform for deploying business critical web applications. LAMP has been
touted as "the killer app" of the open source world.

With many
LAMP sites running E-business logic and hosting E-commerce sites which
require 24x7 uptime, ensuring the highest levels of data and application availability
is critical. For organisations that have taken advantage of LAMP, SteelEye
LifeKeeper ensures these levels of availability by providing constant
monitoring of the end-to-end application stack and immediate recovery of any
failed solution components. LifeKeeper also supports the movement of LAMP
components among servers through its administrative console, to remove the
need for downtime associated with planned system maintenance. LifeKeeper
supports any Intel-compatible 32 or 64-bit server running Red Hat or SuSE
Linux distributions. Configurations can be built utilising shared SCSI, Fibre
Channel SANs, Network Attached Systems devices or data replication. "We
have taken our Apache and our MySQL data and application availability
management products and integrated them to build a solution for protection of
LAMP sites," said Bob Williamson, Vice President of Products for
SteelEye Technology. "SteelEye continues to deliver solutions enabling
Linux adoption for business critical IT functions." "LAMP
has matured rapidly from its simple Web beginnings to become a central
platform for business application deployment," said Bertrand Matthelié,
director of Alliances for MySQL AB. "Due to its stability,
high-performance and attractive TCO, enterprises are turning to LAMP as a
foundation for more critical business systems. As these companies'
investments in LAMP continue to grow, solutions like LifeKeeper will become
key to ensure high-availability and protection." "The
deployment of LAMP for business critical web functions is an exciting
evolution of the Linux market," said Carl DCosta, Director of
Infrastructure Solution Alliances at HP. "The availability of LifeKeeper
to provide solution stack monitoring and recovery will help to accelerate
this adoption." SteelEye's
LifeKeeper for LAMP solution is immediately available and can be purchased
through a variety of sales channels, including HP, IBM and Ingram Micro. (ma) SteelEye
