FiveRuns’ RM-Manage and RM-Install

LinuxJournal July, 2007

The firm FiveRuns, maker of a popular systems management application, is busting out into new territory with its new Enterprise Management Suite for Rails, a series of applications for managing the full Rails application life cycle. The suite's first two offerings are RM-Manage and RM-Install, with more on the way. FiveRuns calls RM-Manage "the only Rails application management tool in the market today", helping to "monitor and manage the production performance of the Rails application". Meanwhile, RM-Install is a "tested, multiplatform enterprise-ready Rails stack" that ensures that all of the parts (for example Ruby, Rails, MySQL, Apache and LightTPD) will work together during Rails development. FiveRuns points out that its Rails expertise comes from using it to build its original flagship application. RM-Install is a free download; RM-Manage is available on a subscription basis.
