FiveRuns launches open source management tools
,----[ Quote ]
| At the JBoss World conference, a year-old startup is launching a
| hosted systems management service that is aimed at getting Windows
| shops over their fear of open source.
|
| FiveRuns Corp is releasing a hosted systems management service that
| is initially targeted at SMBs that are interested in open source
| offerings like the Linux OS, Apache web server, TomCat J2EE container,
| JBoss appserver, or MySQL database. Customers will download a rich web
| client based on Ajax, Open Rico, and Ruby on Rails technologies.
|
| The driving notion is that Windows is popular with SMBs because of
| its GUI-driven simplicity. And, while open source offerings like Linux
| might be attractive to this cost-conscious market, few have the
| skills or desire to master the cryptic, command line interfaces that
| permeate them.
