Hyperic First Enterprise Systems Management Vendor to Support Ubuntu’s Gutsy Gibbon Release

Ubuntu, the outstandingly popular desktop Linux distribution, announced its latest version on Thursday, October 18. Today, October 25th, Hyperic announced that Hyperic HQ now includes support for Gutsy Gibbon, giving administrators of the Linux-based operating system access to fully supported, enterprise-ready systems management for the new OS, and becoming the first IT management provider to support the new OS.

Businesses are experimenting with Ubuntu as their primary OS, and with Dell’s announcement that it will ship Ubuntu laptops, this trend will continue. Better manageability is a critical gating factor for Ubuntu to achieve more widespread business adoption. The Hyperic HQ plugin accomplishes just that. Now, HQ and Ubuntu administrators can instantly take full advantage of Hyperic’s management capabilities, including auto-discovery, monitoring, complex alerting and remediation.
