LiveTime adds ZFS to ITIL Service Management and Help Desk appliances
LiveTime introduces the ZFS file system across its hardware and virtual appliances for greater performance, data integrity and scalability.
Newport Beach, CA – December 4, 2008 - LiveTime Software, a leading provider of ITIL certified Service Management and Help Desk Software, today released a new version of its hardware based appliances based on the ZFS file system. LiveTime’s virtual appliances will also be available with ZFS in Q1 2009 based upon the Open Solaris Operating System.
LiveTime has been able to leverage the key advantages of the 128 bit ZFS file system for its service management product line to provide additional data integrity for its embedded Configuration Management System (CMS), Knowledge Base and Request Management processes. This not only provides customers with greater assurance, but also provides significant performance improvements in sequential reading and writing using the embedded MySQL or PostgreSQL databases.
By utilizing ZFS across LiveTime’s Service Management and Help Desk hardware appliances customers have access to shared storage pools for dynamic expansion of storage as required. In addition, customers will benefit from dynamic striping which automatically distributes load across all devices, adding even greater throughput and scalability to the service desk and help desk.
LiveTime continues to expand its global reach and appeal to large enterprises with its integrated approach to ITIL best practices, open standards, intuitive interface and embedded Configuration Management Database (CMDB). LiveTime is available as a virtual appliance, hardware appliance and traditional server software, servicing more than 10 million users around the globe.
