Aduva, the company which provides capabilities to ease the introduction and usage of "home-grown" and "off the shelf third party" Linux solutions regardless of platform, now enables Linux users to take advantage of IBM's Tivoli ThinkDynamic Orchestration software for On Demand business.

Linux adoption accelerates an On Demand business model that is designed for fast response to fast-changing business conditions: spikes in customer demands; new opportunities; unforeseen (and unforeseeable) external challenges and threats.

IBM's On Demand Tivoli ThinkDynamic Orchestration software suite enables organizations to use resources efficiently by actively sensing and responding to peaks in business demand and allocating IT resources based on business policy. So, instead of an organization "over-provisioning" computing resources to cover every possible contingency or worst-case scenario, ThinkDynamic Orchestration uses existing hardware, software and network devices to improve responsiveness and dynamically respond to market changes. It allows the network to "think on its feet."

If IBM Tivoli ThinkDynamic Orchestration is the brain, Aduva's OnStage application is the intelligent muscle that enables Orchestration to automate the computer resource allocations in line with such business orchestration for a Linux environment. Aduva's OnStage implements IBM Tivoli ThinkDynamic Orchestration to any Linux machine. Linux environments are automatically provisioned and updated to available or re prioritized hardware resources.

Zev Laderman, Aduva's CEO says, "Aduva is excited to be part of the IBM On Demand Automation Library by participating in the Tivoli program. Advua's unique ability to plot a safe path through the Linux dependency minefield ensures error-free, best-practices automation and execution of Linux Application provisioning. The teaming of Tivoli ThinkDynamic Orchestration, and the Aduva OnStage suite of applications are certain to make Linux the OS of choice to align computing resources with the business priorities of an ever-widening circle of companies."

About Aduva

Founded in 1999, Aduva develops software automation tools for Linux systems management. These tools provide greater flexibility in the allocation and provisioning for on-demand and complex computing power. Additionally, they enable companies to customize applications and systems to meet specific business enterprise needs -- without the traditional high costs associated with customization.

Supporting mainframes, Intel and AMD servers, 32 Bit and 64 Bit and more, OnStage makes it possible to manage multiple distribution from one console and to update required fixes in a single click. Ending manual installation while automating dependencies, OnStage checks system integrity without server downtime, replicates changes in configurations automatically across a number of servers in disparate locations, corrects incompatible configurations and much more.
