Enhancements
REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
LinMin, maker of award-winning LinMin Bare Metal Provisioning, today unveiled
Release 5.4, featuring "Turbo-Imaging," a high-performance disk imaging
subsystem for disaster recovery, new operating system media management, updated
Linux and Windows Server provisioning, extensive logging and numerous other
features requested by corporate, cloud and hosting company data center managers.


Turbo-Imaging brings disaster recovery to a new level with automatic file system
detection, intelligent compression and other capabilities that make it easy for
data center managers to quickly roll systems back to a known-good state in case
of software corruption, malicious attack or other failure. Combining server
provisioning (remote, unattended operating system installation) and disk imaging
in a single product makes LinMin an indispensable solution in deploying,
repurposing and recovering the commodity hardware infrastructure layer used in
hosting, corporate, cloud and other data center environments. 

"We use LinMin extensively in our three hosting data centers for provisioning
and imaging our Linux and Windows servers," said Andrew Cartwright, CTO of
FiberHosting. "We are now implementing LinMin`s application programming
interface (API) to enable FiberHosting customers with dedicated servers to
control their systems from the bare metal up. This increases customer
satisfaction and reduces our own operating expenses." 

"The positive feedback we`re getting from customers is most gratifying," said
Laurent Gharda, CEO and founder of LinMin Corp. "There is no substitute for
hosting, cloud and corporate data center staff feedback to drive LinMin`s
roadmap for solving real world problems. As new vendors and solutions emerge to
manage already-deployed physical and virtual systems, the forgotten piece of the
data center cost equation remains the labor-intensive deployment, re-purposing
and recovery of the hardware layer itself. LinMin helps customers optimize
exactly that."
