Mountain View Data Acquires TurboLinuxs PowerCockpit
Acquisition of award-winning server provisioning and management software enables Mountain View Data customers to rapidly deploy, configure and manage entire racks of Linux and Windows PC servers and blade servers over the network and in grid computing environments
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Feb. 25, 2003 Mountain View Data, Inc., a provider of server management software and network storage software, today announced the acquisition of TurboLinuxs PowerCockpit, the leading-edge solution for deploying and provisioning software, and for managing groups of Linux and Windows PC servers and blade servers over the network and in grid computing environments.
The acquisition of PowerCockpit positions Mountain View Data (MVD) as a leader in the emerging clustered computing market. PowerCockpit was developed by a world-class team. It truly is a software masterpiece, said Cliff Miller, the companys president and CEO. Miller co-founded TurboLinux in 1992 and served as its president and CEO until 2000, when he left to establish Mountain View Data. Financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.
"As demand increases for racks of commodity PC servers that host content, applications and services, enterprises of all sizes must be able to quickly deploy and re-deploy several types of servers and then manage the software on those servers, Miller said. PowerCockpit dramatically simplifies that process. What makes Mountain View Data special, though, is the ability to combine its other software components such as network attached storage and real-time data synchronization with PowerCockpit. Nobody else has such a complete offering.
In 2002, the Boston-based Aberdeen Group published a report entitled: An Evaluation of Linux-Based Software Deployment and Management Solutions, and PowerCockpit was ranked at the top of the available provisioning products.
"As clusters of Intel-based PC servers become commonplace in corporate America, good deployment, provisioning and management software for clusters will be in high demand, commented Bill Claybrook an analyst at Aberdeen. Mountain View Data's recent acquisition of the PowerCockpit software and its integration of MVD's existing network storage software will broaden the scope of the product and give it even more appeal in the cluster provisioning and management software market."
The Scientific Computing and Imaging Institute at the University of Utah, which cooperates with the National Institute of Health on such projects as brain tumor visualization and works with the Department of Energy on combustion and computational fluid dynamics projects, uses PowerCockpit on its clusters. Greg Jones, associate director of the Institute stated, "We have been using PowerCockpit to deploy and manage software on a 32-node cluster. We've found the software to be rock solid. PowerCockpit saves us time and hassle so that we can focus on the computing."
In the days following the acquisition, Mountain View Data reports that customers have been signing up for new orders and new partnerships have been created. MVD has licensed PowerCockpit to CoroSoft, which will embed the technology into its products and will work with MVD to develop and market PowerCockpit. According to Julian Elliott, CEO of CoroSoft, "We are very pleased to be working with MVD. PowerCockpit is the industry-leading provisioning solution, and CoroSoft Director is the leading solution for virtualizing complex datacenter infrastructures. The synergy between PWC and CoroSoft creates a new level of datacenter automation that significantly reduces IT costs and improves application service levels."
