SourceLabs Enterprise Class Virtual Infrastructure

SourceLabs, a company supplying technology to support open source software, today announced that its Self-Support Suite now supports enterprise-class virtual infrastructure solutions built on the Xen(R) hypervisor, an open-source virtualization software solution for Linux. SourceLabs' Self-Support technology gives developers, corporate IT professionals, and solution providers an on-demand way to significantly reduce the complexity of application development, deployment, troubleshooting and software maintenance for open source technologies. Xen is the industry's de-facto, industry-endorsed open source virtualization standard backed by the industry's leading enterprise solution vendors.

"As data centers are moving toward a more dynamic model, they are increasingly doing so using server virtualization technology and Xen is the leading technology solution in the market today for running virtualized IT environments," said Byron Sebastian, SourceLabs CEO and Founder. "The SourceLabs Self-Support Suite gives developers the ability to significantly drive down the costs of deploying and maintaining virtualized data centers with technology that seamlessly and effortlessly harnesses the power of Xen and other open source technologies."

SourceLabs Self-Support Suite drives down the cost of troubleshooting and fixing software problems and in addition to identifying potential security issues. The system identifies issues and ranks potential resolutions from across a wide variety of projects in the open source development ecosystem, offering resolutions to problems in just minutes. Indexing, managing, and storing the data, SourceLabs uses advanced pattern matching and predictive analysis algorithms to automate troubleshooting, reduces the time on routine tasks and analyzes data to flag any potential problems before they can impact systems or designs.

Xen open source virtualization software allows multiple operating systems to run concurrently on the same physical server, allowing customers to consolidate their current workloads onto a single server. As the leading open source virtualization project, Xen serves as the foundation of many commercial virtualization solutions and has been benchmarked as the highest performing virtualization software available and is developed collaboratively by engineers at Intel, AMD, Cisco, Citrix, Dell, Egenera, HP, IBM, Mellanox, Network Appliance, Novell, Red Hat, SGI, Sun, Unisys, Veritas, Voltaire, and more.
SourceLabs' supports all current and previous releases of Xen technology, including auxiliary projects such as 'libvirt.' SourceLabs' Self-Support Suite for Xen references solutions from Xen.org as well as solutions from across multiple Linux distributions that ship with Xen integration including Debian, RedHat, Fedora, Ubuntu, and OpenSuSE, as well as the Linux Kernel mailing list and bug database, providing Xen users an exhaustive resource for troubleshooting and analysis of their virtualization platforms. SourceLabs' Self-Support Suite supports the most popular open source Java and Linux technologies including Apache httpd, GCC, MySQL, Sendmail, and the Linux Kernel among others.

Self-Support Suite and Eclipse

SourceLabs, the company innovating open source software support, today announced that its Self-Support Suite now supports the open source Eclipse development environment. SourceLabs' Self-Support technology dramatically reduces the complexity of enterprise Linux and Java application development and maintenance, giving developers, corporate IT professionals, and solution providers an on-demand way to support web applications using the Eclipse Foundation's open source development framework.

SourceLabs Self-Support Tools quickly customize to the Eclipse environment, taking into account any dependencies. Discovery technologies identify issues and rank the quality of field-tested solutions, resolving problems in just minutes. SourceLabs' information repository has over 17 million unique Linux and open source Java objects.

"Enterprises are facing real complexity and cost of ownership issues as they adopt open source software," said Byron Sebastian, CEO and Founder of SourceLabs. "Our Self-Support provides direct access to open source expertise and helps preserve the cost savings by giving users a way to automatically identify and eliminate issues. Developers are using open source frameworks such as Eclipse to simplify writing enterprise applications. Now the support is simplified as well."

Eclipse extends the already wide array of Java and Linux technologies already included in SourceLabs' Self-Support Suite that includes the Spring Framework, Hibernate, Apache Struts, Apache Tomcat, and Apache Axis. SourceLabs Self-Support technology is a significant breakthrough in discovery, navigation and ranking the most current information of open source software. Indexing, managing, and storing the data, SourceLabs uses advanced pattern matching and predictive analysis algorithm to automate troubleshooting, reduce routine tasks from days to minutes, and uses analysis to flag potential problems before they can impact systems or designs.

The Eclipse platform is supported by the open source community and comprised of software projects that are focused on providing an extensible development platform and application frameworks for building software. Eclipse provides extensible tools and frameworks that span the software development lifecycle, including support for modeling, language development environments for Java, C/C++ and others, testing and performance, business intelligence, rich client applications and embedded development.
