OpenLogic Expands Open-Source Repository

Attention my fellow Open-Source web developers and application programmers. I have some good news.

Today OpenLogic released an upgrade of its open-source platform and expanded its library of certified software with more Ajax-related applications.

OpenLogic Enterprise 4.6 is used to acquire, support and control packages of open source software that has been pre-approved by OpenLogic as enterprise ready.

The software is accessible to the platform through the company’s online Certified Library, which has been expanded to more than 300 software packages and more than 1,200 versions of those packages.

Within that list, OpenLogic has increased the number of Ajax-related packages for building Web 2.0 applications.

Other popular software with new versions in the upgraded repository include ActiveMQ, Apache HTTP Server, AspectJ, JasperReports, Maven, Tomahawk, MySQL, PHP, PostgreSQL, Regexp and Tomcat.

New supported platforms include Sun Solaris 8 and 9, in addition to Solaris 10.

OpenLogic Enterprise 4.6 has a new automated installation process that deploys application packages, including database and Web server, within 30 minutes.

In addition, the upgrade has an update manager that can pull updates from the OpenLogic library. Enterprises decide which packages are downloaded.

All available software has passed a 42-point certification process set up by OpenLogic.

As an added bonus, one-call technical support is available and all packages are indemnified against intellectual property risks. OpenLogic also handles all software updates and security packages.

“OpenLogic customers include dozens of Fortune 100 companies that not only require a trusted source for a wide breadth of open source products, but also need to trust that the available fixes and security patches are always up to date,” Steve Grandchamp, chief executive of OpenLogic, said in a statement.
