Evolven Software Announces Partnership with Red Hat

Evolven Software, Inc., the pioneer of Granular Configuration Automation solutions, entered into a formal partnership relation with Red Hat.

According to the partnership, Evolven will join Red Hat’s (News - Alert) ISV Partner Program and create joint solutions aimed at offering greater visibility into granular configuration information that can affect the performance of applications based on Red Hat technologies.

“Through our work with Red Hat and the Red Hat ISV program, we’re looking to reduce the risk of production outages, minimize downtime, and enhance security for environments running business systems based on Red Hat technologies and under Red Hat Enterprise operating systems,” said Sasha Gilenson, CEO of Evolven, in a press release. “We’re excited to support Red Hat’s upcoming releases, and allow our customers to maintain IT environment stability throughout their application stack.”

To increase visibility and control into configuration parameters and content of critical business systems and their underlying infrastructure during the deployment of new releases and patches, ongoing changes, operation and maintenance of the systems, the combination of Evolven and Red Hat solutions has been designed.

The customers, through the certification of Evolven Comparison with Red Hat Enterprise Linux as well as support for JBoss are offered with the ability to compare environments down to the granular level. In order to reduce risk to stability, security and compliance of their physical, virtual or cloud-based IT environments, the IT teams apply this approach.

Qualified vendors, with the help of the Red Hat ISV Program are provided with easy access to the tools and resources necessary to develop and test their products on Red Hat technologies. Additionally, Evolven, through the program's co-marketing and co-branding offerings, will make its flagship solution, Evolven Comparison available to Red Hat customers worldwide.

Being a Granular Configuration Automation solution, Evolven Comparison allows IT organizations to compare their complicated IT environments with a historical snapshot or golden baseline for analyzing changes and differences with a focus on criticality, as well as impact.
