OpenLogic Launches BlueGlue 3.2 management suite

New BlueGlue Version Helps Companies Leverage Open Source Tools

Management, Compliance, and Eclipse Features Help Enterprises Better 
Manage Their Open Source Infrastructures.

Broomfield, COLO – June 27, 2005 – OpenLogic, Inc., the leading 
provider of software and services that enable development and IT 
organizations to easily create and manage their own integrated, 
commercial-grade Open Source environments, announced today the 
availability of version 3.2 of its BlueGlue Open Source Infrastructure 
Management Suite.  The company is also introducing 17 new Eclipse 
Plug-ins.

BlueGlue is the first software that automates the reliable 
installation, configuration, integration, test and maintenance of 
certified and supported stacks built from customer-specified 
combinations of over 120 leading Open Source projects.  It helps 
customers  substantially reduce management costs and complexity when 
using Open Source software.

New Management, Compliance and Usability Enhancements

Version 3.2 includes the following management, compliance, and 
usability features:

•	New one-click Stacrostm, or stack macros, provide 15 popular 
development, test and deployment stacks that are pre-integrated, 
validated and installed in minutes.

•	Customers can also create their own Stacros for their chosen open 
source stack combinations.  This makes it easy for organizations to 
standardize approved stacks across departments or teams, helping ensure 
consistency, version control, and infrastructure quality.

•	A filtering capability that lets customers easily customize BlueGlue 
to show only company-approved open source projects or license types.

•	The ability to color code projects by license type to map into 
company license policies and guide users appropriately.

•	Customers can easily sort by, view and print all dependencies and 
licenses for a given stack combination.

•	Powerful new search capabilities allow customers to take full 
advantage of BlueGlue’s robust open source knowledgebase for management 
and learning.

•	With BlueGlue 3.2, customers can now receive automated on-line 
updates for enhancements and critical project security patches that are 
made available to subscribers between BlueGlue releases.

“This release is the result of various customer requests for ways to 
better help them to efficiently take advantage of Open Source 
infrastructure tools.  We’re confident it will help them significantly 
reduce their open source management costs,” said Rod Cope, CTO and 
Founder of OpenLogic.

17 New Eclipse Plug-ins
The latest version of BlueGlue also adds 17 new Eclipse Plug-ins, part 
of OpenLogic’s strategy to continue enhancing Eclipse support.
