Novell and various startups are offering prebuilt open source packages for easing the configuration transition from proprietary systems. Novell has combined its Suse Linux Enterprise Server with Hewlett-Packard's BladeSystem in a product designed to simplify deployment of clustered Linux-based servers. Many companies lack the technical expertise and staff to manage the leap to open source, and many software companies are ready to bridge that gap. Greenplum, Kinetic Networks, and JasperSoft are entering a joint venture to produce a product whose features include business intelligence reporting, data-warehousing, and the triple threat of extraction, transformation, and loading (ETL). SourceLabs has announced its SASH (Apache Struts, Apache Axis, Spring Framework, and Hibernate) Stack for Java. ActiveGrid is launching its prebuilt Enterprise LAMP, combining Linux, Apache, MySQL, and Perl, PHP, and Python. ActiveGrid also has version 1.0 of Application Builder, a rapid application development environment, and Enterprise LAMP Application Server. On its own, Greenplum has integrated Jasper Reports, JasperSoft's front-end business reporting tool, with Greenplum's Bizgres open source data warehouse and KETL, the ETL software developed by Kinetic Network. This feature-rich application is an open source environment allowing customers to retrieve archives from a data warehouse, analyze that data, and deliver it to users as business intelligence reports. Web applications will probably keep getting better thanks to this tool-packed cupboard.
