Jan 15, 2010 : Future Hosting Selects Ksplice Uptrack
📅 - Enables upgrades and maintenance on Linux servers without the need to reboot the system.
Future Hosting, an internet solutions provider serving SMBs and enterprises internationally and developer of Future Engineer, today announced that it has adopted Ksplice Uptrack, a new technology enabling upgrades and maintenance on Linux servers without the need to reboot the system.
The company explains that traditionally, server administrators are required to reboot the system after performing upgrades to the Linux kernel. Although reboots only take several minutes, they inevitably cause downtime and disrupt the normal operation of the system. It adds that Ksplice's rebootless technology instead converts important kernel upgrades to rebootless packages that can be installed without the need to reboot the system. The company states that Ksplice Uptrack works in both traditional and virtualized Linux environments. It will immediately begin using the technology on Virtual Private Server nodes in all of its data centers.
"Ksplice Uptrack is an important technology that will enable our technical staff to reduce the amount of time we spend on routine maintenance and in return provide even greater uptime for our clients. The ability to eliminate the majority of reboots is something we are excited to add to our arsenal. We're reducing both costs and headaches at the same time," said Future Hosting Chief Technology Officer Nick Zyren.
"Ksplice Uptrack brings systems to a whole new level of availability and security, and we're delighted to be working with Future Hosting to serve their customers better," said Ksplice Chief Operating Officer, Waseem Daher.
