Auto site chooses BladeLogic

BladeLogic Inc. of Lexington said today that Edmunds Inc., whose websites are a source for automotive information, has selected BladeLogic automation software to manage the servers and applications in its new data center.

Before selecting BladeLogic, Edmunds used an assortment of server management software tools that were not well integrated and that required highly specialized skills and extensive scripting, BladeLogic said.

"The efficiency of Edmunds new data center will be critical in ensuring that all four of its websites are fully operational and able to quickly respond to the changing needs of the business and its customers," BladeLogic president and chief executive Dev Ittycheria said in a statement.
