 Labs today announced the availability of a complete hosted distribution delivery platform for complimentary open source technologies with the Community-oriented Real-time Engineering (CoRE) Network. The CoRE Network is the first delivery platform to offer enterprise IT a comprehensive framework for successfully adopting open source projects and processes through its hosted service, support and artifact A distortion in an image or sound caused by a limitation or malfunction in the hardware or software.

Simula Labs was conceived to accelerate open source adoption rates, by identifying and then building open source companies in key infrastructure market segments. Simula Labs' CoRE Network naturally evolves this strategy, by providing a robust, community-oriented marketplace that gives enterprises a complete roadmap for adopting, managing and leveraging open source technologies from leading open source partner companies, including Covalent co·va·lent

Gartner predicts that by 2010, 75 percent of Global 2000 enterprises will include open source in mission-critical software portfolios. However, today's enterprises face barriers in the evaluation, management and deployment of open source in their critical software infrastructures, such as Service Oriented Architectures (SOA (1) (Start Of Authority) The first record in a DNS zone file. See DNS records.

), because of the associated lack of control and predictability around open source project releases, IP and support. The CoRE Network combines subscription-based support for tested, version-controlled and indemnified distributions available from leading open source companies, with the only process framework for building, running and managing open source technologies.

"The CoRE Network provides the ideal model and structure to drive the adoption of open source in the enterprise by reducing the amount of risk enterprises must assume when integrating it into their application and IT infrastructure," said Winston Damarillo, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization.

"By providing an aggregated marketplace that supports developers and consumers of open source, we are working to provide a roadmap for enterprise open source consumption."

 and components. The CoRE Network tests, documents and validates open source distributions, transforming them from popular open source projects to production-ready, indemnified solutions instrumented for enterprise deployment. The CoRE Network gives customers access to:

* Open source runtimes, source code and dependencies;

* Tooling that includes continuous integration and testing, systems monitoring and management to give IT control over building, deploying and managing supported runtimes; and

* The professional expertise of project founders, community engineers and professional consultants.

"The CoRE Network provides the added quality assurance and choice of the most popular open source technologies, which is important for customers who don't want to be locked into a proprietary solution. Covalent is partnering with Simula because creating a platform for a safe and easily integrated open source infrastructure requires the combined technologies of other best-of-breed companies in the open source community."

Pricing and Availability

The CoRE Network is offered through two levels of annual subscriptions, per server and site-based which include SLA-based services and software maintenance access.
