rPath used by CERN

Wednesday, June 11th, 2008

http://www.rpath.com/corp/2008-press-release-archive/rpath-at-cern.html

CERN turned to virtual appliances to facilitate the analysis of data created by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiments. The complete software environment needed by the LHC applications is assembled by rBuilder and distributed to run as a virtual machine on physicists’ desktops. Virtual appliances provide a consistent application environment for the LHC applications while, at the same time, allowing scientists to use their desktops for analysis, regardless of operating system.

Do you spend your time in a cloud or a walled garden ?

Wednesday, June 4th, 2008

Billy Marshall (CEO rPath) thinks that walled gardens will ultimately be overshadowed by clouds because you cannot achieve webscale computing if every application has to run on a server owned by Google … The faster we take the market to cloud computing, the sooner we can kill off the walled gardens through webscale shadows that deprive them of economic sunlight.

rPath Announces Upgrades to rBuilder and rPath Appliance Platform

Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008

The updated version of rBuilder, rPath’s flagship product, provides a new Appliance Model which allows software companies to centrally define configurations for the development, testing and release stages of their appliance. This makes it easier for multiple groups to coordinate on the development and launch of a new appliance. It also ensures that consistent processes are used across multiple appliance releases.
