News hit today that Covalent Technologies (or what I commonly refer to as Covalent 2.0) was acquired by SpringSource. This is an incredibly interesting piece of news since as most of you might have heard, Hyperic’s founding team met while working at the original Covalent (1.0). We also developed the first version of the HQ technology (then called Covalent Application Manager) back in 2002.

I had the great pleasure of co-hosting one of Hyperic’s regular webinar series with Jonathan Bryce and Jason Bartels from Mosso. I have spent quite a bit of time with these guys over the past couple months, as Jonathan worked with me to build a case study. Through that experience, I became totally intrigued with how these guys set themselves up. Mosso is a division of Rackspace that helps folks build websites fast, and make sure everything is always running. They guarantee 100% uptime, which is cool. They get scale. When I first met Jonathan in late September, his company was hosting 25,000 websites. Now he’s hosting 35,000. They get how to run about 200 different technologies (in my estimation, and yes, it may be exagerrating - but only a bit) . They get virtualization - they use it to make sure that they can quickly deploy more horsepower to a site when it gets hit by Slashdot, Digg and Reddit all in one hour.

Today I learned that Hyperic won Enterprise Management Associate’s Award for Open Source Systems Management. What’s more, we discovered that we won the top slot, what EMA calls the ‘First Team All-Star’ position. The idea here is that all teams have a starting lineup, or ‘First Team’ and then a series of reserves, which is the second tier of this award review, simply known as ‘All-Stars’, and a rookie group of rising potentials for the category known as ‘Rising Stars’.

Why Sysadmins Are Like Assembly Programmers - MP3 [23:22m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download (465)For those who prefer your audio in OGG format, download here.
Luke Kanies, the brains behind Puppet, was kind enough to come by the Hyperic office a few days ago. A conversation ensued and was recorded. If you know Luke, then you know he’s full of ideas and well-stated opinions on the state of system administration and sysadmins. Our conversation ran the gamut from Puppet’s place in the sysadmin toolbox, to how sysadmins are like assembly programmers and design patterns for sysadmins

What an incredible start to an otherwise unremarkable, mid-January day!
First, the huge news about MySQL being acquired by Sun Microsystems… then the news about BEA being acquired by Oracle. The first deal is significant given the ‘imminent’ IPO that was expected by MySQL later this year. The second is significant if only because of the amount of bickering between BEA’s management team, Oracle, and their respective shareholders.

With the new Nagios plugin to be released with Hyperic HQ 3.2, we did a HyperCAST yesterday on its feature set and how to import an existing Nagios configuration.
Enjoy!
