SUNNYVALE, Calif. -- Aduva's OnStage Helps Customers Realize the Benefits of IBM's "On-Demand" Vision

Aduva, the company known for simplifying the critical but sometimes tedious task of Linux server management, announced today that its OnStage product provides single console management of all IBM eServer brands: zSeries, xSeries, and OPEN POWER architectures of pSeries, iSeries, and BladeCenter JS20.

As a result of this development, IBM invited Aduva to showcase OnStage in the IBM Pavilion at LinuxWorld Expo this week in San Francisco, Calif. In the Pavilion, attendees can see Aduva simplify the deployment, configuration, and production support of IBM software including Websphere, DB2, and Workplace software as well as open source, custom and other commercial software (e.g. Oracle) across all IBM eServer Linux platforms.

"This is excellent news for IBM customers who want to manage their mission-critical applications and make price/performance decisions incorporating the unique features of different hardware platforms to the optimal needs of enterprise applications," says Zev Laderman, CEO of Aduva. "With OnStage, enterprises are able to simplify the management of applications across Linux platforms -- to maximize price/performance and platform-specific benefits to realize the benefit of IBM's 'on-demand' vision -- they can align their business priorities and business systems with their computing power."
