Levanta Expands Into Linux Data Center Automation.
2007-10-23, HostMan.biz
Levanta, a Linux data center automation provider, today announced that it has closed an $8 million funding round to help further accelerate its move into Linux data center automation.
Analyst firms report that due to unique issues that arise with the use of Linux, the expense of server management in the data center mitigates most of the cost savings associated with commodity hardware. In fact, some statistics show that the cost of managing servers running Linux can be four times the cost of the hardware itself and can account for 60% of the total cost of running a data center. Additionally, Gartner estimates that 74% of all server failures are caused by human errors including incorrect software configuration. Levanta's solutions address these challenges head-on by enabling enterprises to streamline their IT operation and implement error-free processes based on field-proven best practices. Levanta's customers report achieving 78% operational savings, on average, says the company.
"We are pleased with the continued confidence of our long time investors," said Dan Lee, CFO at Levanta. "This funding will help us further solidify our position as the most comprehensive enterprise-grade DCA solution for Linux."
