ELC Technologies and FiveRuns Partner to Deliver Business-Critical Ruby on Rails Applications for the Enterprise
Leaders in Rails Development and Performance Monitoring Team Up To Offer Complete Deployment Solutions for New Rails Applications
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. and AUSTIN, Texas (December 11, 2007) – ELC Technologies, the California-based consulting firm with the industry’s largest global team of dedicated Ruby on Rails developers, and FiveRuns, a pioneer of monitoring products for Ruby on Rails and other popular open source and commercial systems, today announced a strategic partnership to provide business-critical, enterprise-class Ruby on Rails applications for global companies. Working together, ELC and FiveRuns will enable organizations to more quickly develop robust enterprise applications, monitor application performance and help IT executives effectively manage and integrate open source Rails resources as a competitive advantage in their enterprise infrastructure.
ELC Technologies has already demonstrated the effectiveness of Rails for business applications, having delivered applications for global companies such as Buy.com, Cisco, Live Nation, MediaTrust and TuneCore. ELC combines Ruby on Rails and agile software development practices to shorten time to completion for new enterprise applications. At the same time, FiveRuns delivers simple-to-use, affordable management tools that allow IT managers to monitor the performance of Rails applications and their underlying infrastructure in production environments.
“We have repeatedly demonstrated the value of Rails for business-critical applications to the global companies we have as clients. However, one of the greatest challenges our clients face is monitoring and maintaining Rails within large-scale enterprise environments,” said Jonathan Siegel, founder and president of ELC Technologies. “Working with FiveRuns will allow our clients to easily manage their Rails deployments using FiveRuns' tools--and to demonstrate for themselves that Rails can deliver enterprise performance as well as shortening time to deployment.”
Through this partnership, ELC Technologies and FiveRuns will offer enterprise customers world-class development resources coupled with industry-first monitoring tools to make sure new Rails applications operate at peak performance without adversely affecting other enterprise applications. The two companies are collaborating on enterprise Rails deployments, which will be announced at a later date.
“More business-critical applications are migrating to open source, like Ruby on Rails, which means enterprise networks need world-class development resources, and the right set of tools to measure their impact,” said Olivier Thierry, president and CEO of FiveRuns. “This alliance allows us to provide a combined resource to customers who are serious about Rails for their business; the best Rails programming expertise combined with the managment tools to optimize Rails for the enterprise.”
