New BlueGlue Version Helps Companies Leverage Open Source Tools
Broomfield, COLO June 27, 2005 OpenLogic, Inc., the leading provider of software and services that enable development and IT organizations to easily create and manage their own integrated, commercial-grade Open Source environments, announced today the availability of version 3.2 of its BlueGlue Open Source Infrastructure Management Suite. The company is also introducing 17 new Eclipse Plug-ins.
BlueGlue is the first software that automates the reliable installation, configuration, integration, test and maintenance of certified and supported stacks built from customer-specified combinations of over 120 leading Open Source projects. It helps customers substantially reduce management costs and complexity when using Open Source software.
New Management, Compliance and Usability Enhancements
Version 3.2 includes the following management, compliance, and usability features:
New one-click Stacros, or stack macros, provide 15 popular development, test and deployment stacks that are pre-integrated, validated and installed in minutes.
Customers can also create their own Stacros for their chosen open source stack combinations. This makes it easy for organizations to standardize approved stacks across departments or teams, helping ensure consistency, version control, and infrastructure quality.
A filtering capability that lets customers easily customize BlueGlue to show only company-approved open source projects or license types.
The ability to color code projects by license type to map into company license policies and guide users appropriately.
Customers can easily sort by, view and print all dependencies and licenses for a given stack combination.
Powerful new search capabilities allow customers to take full advantage of BlueGlue's robust open source knowledgebase for management and learning.
With BlueGlue 3.2, customers can now receive automated on-line updates for enhancements and critical project security patches that are made available to subscribers between BlueGlue releases.
"This release is the result of various customer requests for ways to better help them to efficiently take advantage of Open Source infrastructure tools. We're confident it will help them significantly reduce their open source management costs," said Rod Cope, CTO and Founder of OpenLogic.
17 New Eclipse Plug-ins

BlueGlue now includes a collection of over 20 of the most popular Eclipse Open Source Plug-ins that support top projects like JBoss, MySQL, Struts, PHP, and many more.
