OpenLogic on Monday is launching OpenLogic Enterprise 4.0, its tool for tracking and integrating open source software.
Formerly known as BlueGlue, OpenLogic Enterprise features a central repository of more than 160 open source software projects. Users can automatically install and integrate this software on remote servers and desktops and get an audit trail of open source software deployments.
OpenLogic's software lets enterprises choose and configure their own stacks, on-the-fly, based on particular needs. The product will notify users which open source offerings will and will not work together.
OpenLogic Enterprise 4.0 allows enterprise to control what open source licenses are used in an enterprise. Certain open source licenses can be banned if lawyers object to them. Only projects with approved licenses will show up in the user's library.
New in version 4.0 are 18 OpenLogic-certified open source projects including Geronimo, Apache Axis and JLDAP (Java LDAP). A distributed architecture allows enterprises to control the use of open source across an enterprise.
A side-by-side install capability allows users to install multiple versions of the same open source product on the same computer, to help users compare versions of open source packages and manage migrations to new releases.
The OpenUpdate maintenance capabilities in version 4.0 allow incremental updates to an enterprise's open source library. OpenLogic evaluates and certifies patches and new software releases for its library of open source offerings.
OpenLogic prices start at $30,000.
