Jun 26, 2002 : Loudcloud Announce Opsware System 3

📅 June 26, 2002 - Managed hosting company Loudcloud Inc. (Loudcloud.com), soon to be renamed Opsware Inc., announced on Wednesday that it has introduced Opsware System 3, designed to automate the IT lifecycle associated with managing servers and business applications.

The Opsware System 3, says Loudcloud, is the foundation of the company's managed services business, which is soon to be acquired by EDS. The software lowers costs, improves service quality and security and accelerates the management and rollout of changes to servers and business applications.
The announcement of Opsware's availability follows the previous news, in which Loudcloud said it would rebrand the company as Opsware Inc., and focus on selling Opsware. The company also signed an agreement with EDS for a $52 million, three-year licensing of Opsware for deployment across its 14 major and 140 client-owned data centers.
Opsware System 3 is the first externally available release of the platform, which Loudcloud calls the first IT automation system of its kind. The software supports over 200 technologies, including a broad range of operating systems, databases, application servers, middleware and business applications.
The product is designed for enterprises, government agencies, service providers and other organizations with 100 or more servers under management. It is designed to automate the management of change on servers and applications that typically consumes IT departments.
"By automating the complete lifecycle associated with managing servers and business applications, CIOs and IT management will be able to significantly reduce costs and get better utilization of their assets," says Ben Horowitz, CEO and co-founder of Loudcloud. "As EDS has chosen to do, Fortune 2000 IT organizations can also leverage the power of Opsware automation to conduct critical IT services on a large scale, increase efficiencies and improve service quality."
