Clara Online and Daiwabo Information System in Sales Tie-up for
"Linux Security Update Service Enterprise" |
Clara Online (Headquarters: Nagoya, CEO: Kentaro Iemoto) and Daiwabo
Information System (DIS, Headquarters: Osaka, CEO: Hirokazu Matsumoto)
announced a sales tie-up that will have Daiwabo Information System selling
the "Linux Security Update Service Enterprise" provided by
Clara Online.
In this tie-up, DIS will operate as a general dealer of Linux Security
Update Service Enterprise, using their nationwide network of sales points
and approximate 10,000 cooperating sales outlets to aggressively sell
the product to Red Hat®Linux users across the country.
|
Linux Security Update Service Enterprise is a packaged product that
adds "Qloc Engine", an automatic patch driver made by Qwanty
Corporation, to Clara Online's "Linux Security Update Service"
that provides patch programs for debugging Red Hat®Linux. Using the
automatic patch acquisition and application agents of Qloc Engine, the
patches provided by Linux Security Update Service can be automatically
and efficiently applied to anywhere from 1 to over 1,000 servers.
Before, when a security hole was discovered in software such as Red
Hat®Linux and the software company provided a patch for it, the system
administrator had to apply the patch one by one to each individual server
that ran the software.
Using the functions of Qloc Engine, Linux Security Update Service Enterprise
can automatically execute the whole series of operations that the system
administrator had to perform from patch acquisition to application,
simultaneously and in a short amount of time for multiple servers. Also,
with options (sold separately), users can efficiently distribute and
apply patches not just for LinuxOS such as Red Hat®Linux but also
for all types of application software.
DIS and Clara Online believe that Linux Security Update Service Enterprise
will be widely used by SOHO, SIer and IDC (internet data center) that
run multiple Linux servers.
In this tie-up, DIS will operate as a general dealer of Linux Security
Update Service Enterprise, using their nationwide network of sales points
and approximate 10,000 cooperating sales outlets to aggressively sell
the product to Red Hat®Linux users across the country. It is also
planned for DIS Technical Service, which is responsible for support
and service in the DIS Group, to provide support centered on a help
desk to users who introduce the new product.
The planned price of Linux Security Update Service Enterprise is Yen52,000
per server. DIS forecasts sales of Yen100 million for the first year.
