China's Red Flag Software and Japan's Miracle Linux have released the
test version of a Linux operating environment developed specially for
Asia.
Three months after joining hands on this effort, the firms said last
week they have completed the beta edition of Asianux 1.0.
Asianux is hailed by the two firms as the possible answer to the lack
of Linux standards in the region. Using a shared kernel and other
common components, Asianux standardizes how Linux works so software
and hardware makers will not need to support fragmented flavors of the
open-source operating system.
Along with the beta release, Red Flag Software and Miracle Linux have
also introduced a certification program for their new Linux platform.
Certified companies will get the latest version of Asianux, technical
information and support, as well as early access to Red Flag and
Miracle Linux products, the firms said in a joint statement last week.
In addition, it ensures compatibility with Miracle Linux 3.0 and Red
Flag DC4.1, two upcoming server operating systems to be based on
Asianux, they added.
To date, more than 40 vendors have signed up for early certification.
These include Japanese electronics giants NEC and Hitachi, as well as
U.S.-based software firms like Trend Micro and Oracle. The full
version of Asianux is expected to debut in Japan and China by June
this year.
"Increasing software and hardware certification will accelerate
enterprise Linux in Asia. Cooperation among our partners to promote
solutions on Asianux will ultimately benefit customers as it will give
them greater choice," said Takeshi Sato, president of Miracle Linux.
