Linux Bare metal has a new player, LinMin.
March 11, 2008
LinMin provides Bare Metal Provisioning (BMP) for your Linux servers. The use of BMP greatly reduces the overhead a system administrator requires to deploy and manage existing servers.
LinMin, a systems management software provider in stealth mode for the past several months, today announced the availability of its first product, LinMin Bare Metal Provisioning (LBMP™). LBMP can remotely provision (natively install and configure Linux and customer-specified applications) as well as image (snapshot and rollback entire systems for disaster recovery and clone systems for mass deployment) servers, blades, PCs, appliances and virtual machines. LBMP enables systems to be rapidly deployed, repurposed and recovered. LinMin delivered the successful Beta version of the product to customers several weeks ago.
In the past I have deployed Storix to accomplish similar tasks, with great success. An alternative open source recovery solution is Mondo Rescue.
