Interwoven Releases New
Linux-Based Solution
Interwoven, Inc., a world-leading provider of content management for the
enterprise, announced that it is providing a Linux-based solution that
dramatically reduces the total cost of hardware and software ownership for the
growing number of enterprises running Linux in their IT environment. Global
2000 Companies have pervasively deployed Interwoven's leading content
management platform over the last several years, and many are now embracing
Linux as a server operating system to reduce the cost of their computing
environments. Interwoven provides a platform-independent solution for
managing and distributing code, content, and applications to any number of
distributed production servers running Linux or other leading operating
systems in a secure and cost-effective manner -- ultimately providing maximum
flexibility and reliability for their IT infrastructure.
"Driving down the Total Cost of Ownership of increasingly complex
application
environments continues to be a top initiative in the Global 1000," said Frank
Fanzilli, industry veteran and former Managing Director and CIO at Credit
Suisse First Boston. "The Interwoven Linux Solution allows enterprises to
simplify their application environments, accelerate their adoption of Linux,
and ultimately reduce TCO."
In a typical content management implementation, the greatest expense is
most
often attributed to the administration and maintenance of the large number of
servers running in production. The Interwoven Linux Solution directly
addresses these expensive production servers that reside just outside the
corporate firewall or in distributed server farms. Customers that implement
the Linux-based content management solution from Interwoven can reduce server
management costs 30-80% while increasing server reliability. Industry research
indicates that the average cost of managing Linux servers is 30% less than
Window-based servers, and up to 80% less than proprietary RISC/UNIX
servers.
"The compelling price performance and flexibility offered by the Linux
platform has made it the new platform of choice for the deployment of both
content and applications," said Evan Bauer, principal research fellow of the
Robert Frances Group. "Interwoven OpenDeploy's intelligent, platform agnostic,
content and application distribution capabilities fully integrates Linux-based
servers into Interwoven's enterprise content management capabilities." Bauer
focuses on enterprise technology strategy for Robert Frances Group's Global
1000 clients.
Industry and customer research has shown that Web and application servers
are
the first to embrace the Linux platform. Interwoven offers a solution that
utilizes its flagship content management product, Interwoven TeamSite Content
Server software, combined with Interwoven OpenDeploy Content Distribution
software, to enable companies to distribute code, content, and applications to
any production server running Linux.
"In an era of trying to do more with less, Interwoven continues to listen
to
customers to better understand how our technology can be leveraged to decrease
costs and increase efficiencies across the enterprise," said Martin Brauns,
chairman and CEO of Interwoven. "Featuring the unique capabilities of
OpenDeploy, this solution actually accelerates Linux adoption in distributed
application environments by standardizing the way code and content is
assembled, synchronized, and securely distributed from any repository to any
network touch-point running Linux. Ultimately, this powerful software-hardware
combination leads to a lower total cost of ownership for companies planning to
roll out content management company-wide."
