In April, FastScale announced the beta release of FastScale Stack Manager Workstation Edition, a product that enables individual system administrators, developers, and software appliance builders to easily create and manage optimized CentOS or Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 or 5 server software stacks for Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud or VMware Infrastructure. The new FastScale Stack Manager Workstation Edition offers a flexible and automated approach to building software environments that average 95% smaller, require 75% less memory and present a smaller attack surface for increased security.
"The FastScale technology is unique in that it provides fully-automated and powerful infrastructure for building and managing highly-optimized servers utilizing unmodified commercial operating system platforms," said Lynn LeBlanc, CEO of FastScale Technology. "We want users to see the benefits firsthand, so we are making small-footprint application environments available as a free download. From there, users can try FastScale's technology in-house and benefit firsthand from automatically building small footprint, resource-efficient software stacks with the push of a button."
FastScale offers the only technology in the market with Application Blueprinting(TM) capabilities that automatically calculate the precise file-level operating system dependencies of applications, and creates server builds with just enough operating system (JeOS) from unmodified enterprise operating systems, both Linux and Windows. A graphical dashboard enables easy configuration and customization of optimized server software stacks, including complex multi-tiered applications. All software assets are versioned and stored in a central repository for management, traceability, logging and reproducibility.
Created automatically by FastScale Stack Manager Workstation Edition, several ultra-lightweight, full-featured software stacks are now available for free download in either VMDK or AMI format at http://www.fastscale.com/technology/downloads.php:
-- LAMP - a basic Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP software stack. The FastScale download size is only 39 MB with an expanded runtime size of 150 MB.
-- Tomcat - a Java servlet container. The FastScale download size is only 61 MB with an expanded runtime size of 250 MB.
-- MediaWiki - a wiki package originally for use on Wikipedia. The FastScale download size is only 49 MB with an expanded runtime size of 210 MB.
-- Drupal - a content management platform. The FastScale download size is only 42 MB with an expanded runtime size of 160 MB.
