The OpenLogic Certified Library is a repository of pre-approved open source packages. Enterprises can use this library as a way to safely and securely manage and control open source software. The Certified Library contains open source packages that:

-- Have passed OpenLogic's 42-point certification process; -- Are supported by OpenLogic's one-call technical support and backed by the OpenLogic Expert Community; -- Are indemnified against potential IP risks; -- Are automatically kept up to date on latest version releases and security patches. 30 Minute Installation

In addition to the expanded Certified Library, OpenLogic Enterprise 4.6 has a new streamlined installation process that lets enterprises start managing open source within 30 minutes. This automated process installs all of the requisite applications (including a database and web server) without requiring special expertise or knowledge.

New Customizable Update Manager

To keep current with the newest open source software, including fixes and security patches, the OpenLogic Enterprise 4.6 Update Manager pulls updates from the OpenLogic Certified Library via the Internet. Enterprises can control which packages they download from available updates.

"OpenLogic customers include dozens of Fortune 100 companies that not only require a trusted source for a wide breadth of open source products, but also need to trust that the available fixes and security patches are always up to date," said Steve Grandchamp, CEO of OpenLogic. "Now, with OpenLogic's ability to get enterprises up and running in 30 minutes they can take advantage of all the benefits that open source software has to offer."
