provisioning tool with FreeBSD support at a reduced price – an industry
first!
Jersey City, NJ (February 20, 2006) –Comodo Inc., a global leader in
Identity and Trust Assurance (ITA) Management solutions, today announced
that Psoft, a Comodo company and a
leading provider of secure Internet software to manage web hosting
environments, has announced today the immediate availability of NOC
Monkey V1.5. NOC Monkey (nocmonkey.psoft.net) is the first
product for remote server provisioning with management performed through
an easy to use web interface. The solution allows full direct access to
the server to recover system or install new OS while being at a remote
location.
This new version, NOC Monkey V1.5, allows remote server provisioning
and recovery tool that to date, was only available to large companies
that utilized proprietary solutions. NOC Monkey V1.5 gives companies of
all sizes access to leading edge automation tools for the task of server
provisioning using a simple Web based interface from which operating
systems can be remotely installed and recovered.
Featuring admin and user level access, the system also enables
administrators to change root passwords, run fsck in single user mode
(for repairing LINUX files), recover hacked servers and custom partition
hard disks from the same interface. Furthermore, using a new
‘grab/install’ system, the software adapts to various OS/hardware
configurations by auto detecting new servers. The new version introduces
the ability to provision FreeBSD 4.x, 5.x & 6.x, Debian and Slackware,
in addition for already supported RedHat, Fedora, Trustix & CentOS.
In Recovery mode the new version adds support for ReiserFS and
SELinux.
“Comodo see hugely enhanced provisioning speeds for datacenter
administrators and web-hosting companies alike. Within a few clicks,
servers can be remotely recovered, operating systems installed and root
passwords changed –exercises that usually require a physical presence
and take time, effort and therefore money to accomplish”, said Igor
Seletsky, CTO of Comodo and leading innovator of NOC Monkey.
“One immediate benefit of this is improved customer response
time. The ability to store multiple server profiles and OS configuration
images enables Web hosts to quickly respond to customer’s
requirements”, continued Mr Seletsky. “Such “deployment on the
fly” represents a massive shortcut compared to installing and
configuring a system from scratch. Plus support for FreeBSD, the most
requested customer feature, makes NOC Monkey much more useful for our
clients, and greatly improves the value for our clients”.
Cost and time savings generated by basing a datacenter or hosting
provisioning around NOC Monkey controlled servers could be passed onto
customers to generate a competitive advantage in a decidedly tight
business. Further, this new version delivers a better value to customers
with new pricing model to enable enterprises to achieve operational
efficiencies and cost savings.
