SteelEye LifeKeeper Ensures Highest Levels of Productivity, Collaboration and Source Code Control For Linux-based Application Development Teams With Integrated Availability Monitoring and Protection of Rational ClearCase and Server Infrastructures
Mountain View, California - August 3, 2004 - SteelEye Technology® Inc., a leading provider of proven enterprise IT reliability solutions for business continuity, today announced the availability of SteelEye LifeKeeper for IBM Rational ClearCase, an integrated solution for ensuring the highest levels of availability monitoring and protection of Linux-based application development environments managed by Rational ClearCase.
"The openness and cost benefits of Linux are key factors that are driving its adoption as the platform of choice by software development organizations worldwide," said Bob Williamson, vice president of products and technology for SteelEye Technology, Inc. "The new SteelEye solution ensures that development teams utilizing the power of Rational ClearCase can also take advantage of the benefits of Linux while ensuring the highest levels of availability protection of their development environment."
SteelEye LifeKeeper for Rational ClearCase enables integrated monitoring and failover protection of the entire Rational ClearCase environment running on Linux, including the Registry Server, Release Area, and Versioned Object Base (VOB) and View Storage. LifeKeeper provides a mechanism to monitor and recover protected ClearCase services either locally on the same server where the processes are currently running or from a failed primary server onto a backup server. LifeKeeper detects failures either at the server level (via a heartbeat) or resource level (by monitoring the ClearCase daemons), so that control of the protected ClearCase services are transferred to a backup server.
SteelEye LifeKeeper for Rational ClearCase is certified for ClearCase version 2003.06 running on both IA32 and Opteron platforms and both Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.0 and SUSE SLES 8 Linux distributions.
