Cary,
NC and Herndon, VA – (September 6, 2006) — DLT Solutions,
Inc., a premier government solutions provider and Emu Software, a
commercial open source systems management vendor, today announced a
new strategic partnership through which DLT Solutions will offer Emu
Software’s NetDirector solution to its Red Hat
Enterprise Linux customers. NetDirector enhances DLT Solutions’
current leadership as Red Hat’s top government solution provider in
providing fully-manageable Enterprise Linux solutions for federal,
state and municipal government agencies.
NetDirector
is an extensible, open source solution for the management of
applications running on Linux, Solaris and other Unix platforms.
Because of its seamless integration with the Red Hat Network (RHN)
update mechanism, NetDirector complements Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Using NetDirector, IT Managers and Systems Administrators benefit
from a single, secure point-of-entry for all patching, provisioning
and change and configuration management (CCM) of individual and
user-defined groups of Red Hat Enterprise Linux servers.
“This
partnership builds on DLT’s market-leading government Enterprise
Linux position. Our selection of the NetDirector systems management
platform to add to our Open Source product-line was based on input
from our customers and our colleagues at Red Hat,” said Rick
Marcotte, President & CEO, DLT Solutions, Inc.
“DLT’s
decision to represent Emu Software in the government sector is an
exciting strategic win for us,” said Emu Software Co-Founder, Greg
Wallace. “We are committed to the success of our channel partners
and to helping them meet their customer’s systems management needs
with open source solutions. With NetDirector, DLT’s Enterprise
Linux customers can more effectively manage their growing Linux
environments and more easily comply with FISMA and other government
security and control requirements.”
NetDirector’s
secure, intuitive Web interface allows users to configure many
servers simultaneously, be they physical, virtual, local or remote,
while providing IT management with needed oversight through
segregation of duties and hierarchical role-based permissions. This
ensures that when a user accesses NetDirector, they only see and can
only administer, the specific servers and services to which they have
been granted permission. In addition to reducing unscheduled
downtown, this feature also ensures easy access to audit trails for
control and compliance purposes.
