Virtuas Open Source Solutions, the premier provider of enterprise-level support and enablement services for Apache Geronimo and other leading open source software, and Hyperic, a leading provider of open management solutions for IT operations, announced a strategic alliance to provide improved management and monitoring capabilities for Apache Geronimo.

"As customers increasingly turn towards the use of Apache Geronimo in their corporate environments, they are realizing that a combination of 'best of breed' technologies together with 'best practices' in architecture and design is a key to their success," said Matt Filios, President of Virtuas. "Virtuas is pleased to work with Hyperic to offer unsurpassed products and services to the Geronimo community."

Working together with Virtuas to enhance product performance, the Hyperic HQ Apache Geronimo plug-in is now available to customers seeking enterprise-class manageability solutions combined with the Apache Software Foundation's J2EE Application Server. In addition, the companies will continue to work together to evolve features and functionality both within Hyperic and Apache Geronimo technologies.

"As part of our commitment to providing customers with complete management solutions for their entire open source infrastructure, we are excited about our partnership with Virtuas," says Javier A. Soltero, CEO of Hyperic. "By providing this enhanced functionality for Geronimo, we provide customers with enterprise-quality choices for their open source middleware and the ability to deploy with confidence."
