JeOS Virtualization with LiveTime

JeOS Virtualization
LiveTime has developed a highly optimized operating system specifically for the delivery of Java applications in virtual environments such as VMware. This concept is often referred to as JeOS (Just Enough Operating System) and pronounced Juice. Based around the latest Linux kernel (2.6 series), ext3 file system and VMware tools, the operating system includes a complete open source application stack. The system includes Java 1.6, Apache 2.2 web server, Tomcat 6.0 and PostgreSQL 8.2. Benefits With LiveTime's JeOS highly tuned for LiveTime Service Manager and Help Desk applications, we can achieve much higher performance than a general purpose operating system containing hundeds of libraries and tools that are not needed. Since the JeOS has been specifically designed as an application server all unwanted tools and libraries have been removed. Consequently, the footprint is around 400 MB with LiveTime installed and under 300 MB as a core application server operating system. This makes it possible to run many virtualized environments on one machine for different purposes. As an example you can run LiveTime for testing, training and production all on one machine with different virtual IP addresses. Service and SaaS providers can leverage this technology to deploy multiple instances of LiveTime for each customer on the same machine in seconds with no configuration changes. All management can be performed using standard virtual machine management tools. Future Developments LiveTime is always striving to deliver the best customer service products to market with a minimum of installation, setup and maintenance issues. JeOS is the perfect solution for delivering optimized enterprise class software to organizations with a minimum of effort and expertise. LiveTime is already developing the next version of its JeOS for 64 bit architectures together with an auto-update capability across the entire application stack. LiveTime will also consider releasing this software to the market if there is enough interest from other software vendors.
