Oracle Enterprise Linux and CentOS Support

A major feature of our most recent Linux release is support for LifeKeeper and SteelEye Data Replication with Oracle Enterprise Linux and CentOS.  This marks something of a departure for SteelEye as historically we have limited support to Red Hat and SLES.   Increasingly, however, we are seeing our customers wanting choice in the Linux distro that they deploy. 

As Oracle stated in the press release announcing our support for OEL, the partnership between our companies goes back a long way:

SteelEye's support for Oracle Enterprise Linux is a natural step in the evolution of the companies' long-standing relationship. With the Oracle Unbreakable Linux support program gaining favor among data center administrators, having the ability to provide the data and application protection provided by SteelEye is very important for our joint customers.

As a member of the Oracle PartnerNetwork, we have provided monitoring and protection for Oracle solutions since 2001and our Oracle Protection Suite remains one of our best selling products. We're pleased to also now support OEL.
