Business Wire
LinMin, maker of award-winning LinMin Bare Metal Provisioning�,
today unveiled Release 5.4, featuring �Turbo-Imaging,� a
high-performance disk imaging subsystem for disaster recovery, new
operating system media management, updated Linux� and Windows�
Server provisioning, extensive logging and numerous other features
requested by corporate, cloud and hosting company data center
managers.
Turbo-Imaging brings disaster recovery to a new level with
automatic file system detection, intelligent compression and other
capabilities that make it easy for data center managers to quickly
roll systems back to a known-good state in case of software
corruption, malicious attack or other failure. Combining server
provisioning (remote, unattended operating system installation) and
disk imaging in a single product makes LinMin an indispensable
solution in deploying, repurposing and recovering the commodity
hardware infrastructure layer used in hosting, corporate, cloud and
other data center environments.
�We use LinMin extensively in our three hosting data centers for
provisioning and imaging our Linux and Windows servers,� said
Andrew Cartwright, CTO of FiberHosting. �We are now implementing
LinMin�s application programming interface (API) to enable
FiberHosting customers with dedicated servers to control their
systems from the bare metal up. This increases customer
satisfaction and reduces our own operating expenses.�
�The positive feedback we�re getting from customers is most
gratifying,� said Laurent Gharda, CEO and founder of LinMin Corp.
�There is no substitute for hosting, cloud and corporate data
center staff feedback to drive LinMin�s roadmap for solving real
world problems. As new vendors and solutions emerge to manage
already-deployed physical and virtual systems, the forgotten piece
of the data center cost equation remains the labor-intensive
deployment, re-purposing and recovery of the hardware layer itself.
LinMin helps customers optimize exactly that.�
