Virtualization Track at Cloud Expo

The Linux Foundation, the nonprofit organization dedicated to accelerating the growth of Linux, on Monday announced that rPath is its newest member. rPath is an innovator in automating system provisioning and maintenance across physical, virtual and cloud environments and works with Linux users to achieve flexibility, scalability and control within today's limited budgets.

Smaller budgets have increased demand for solutions that allow IT to take on increasing levels of scale without adding cost or headcount. rPath today offers automation solutions for provisioning and patching a variety of Linux-based systems, including Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and SUSE Linux Enterprise, among others. Its Linux Foundation membership will enable it to broaden its community involvement and collaborate with industry and technical leadership.

"We're seeing increasing demand for tools that can help provision and maintain Linux-based systems in large-scale physical, virtual and cloud-based environments," said Jake Sorofman, chief marketing officer for rPath. "Our Linux Foundation membership will allow us to collaborate with the community of vendors, end users and contributors who can help us successfully meet this growing demand."

rPath will participate in various Linux Foundation events. It will also contribute to Linux Foundation workgroups and other activities and services that accelerate the adoption of Linux.

"rPath has been blazing a trail in application release and system automation for many years and we're excited to welcome them as our newest member," said Amanda McPherson, vice president of marketing and developer programs at the Linux Foundation. "Many of our individual members are systems administrators and we're looking forward to the new collaboration opportunities that come with rPath's addition to the Linux Foundation."
