Ascert Announces Red Hat Partnership

Ascert joins Red Hat's ISV Partner Program.

Sausalito, CA (PRWEB) May 21, 2008 -- Ascert today announced that it is joining Red Hat's Independent Software Vendors (ISV) Partner program. As a Red Hat ISV, Ascert's software testing products will now support Red Hat Enterprise Linux software as an operating platform.

"This move makes a lot of sense for Ascert," said Simon Miles, Ascert's Product Architect for the VersaTest product line. "Flexibility is one of the key components of our testing software solutions. This applies not only to our ability to solve our client's diverse testing needs, but also to the platforms and operating systems on which our clients demand we run. Ascert is recognized as a leader in premier server-based testing software solutions. Continued expansion of product flexibility, platform operability and customer choice will continue to be one of our highest objectives."

Red Hat joins an elite set of supported platforms for the VersaTest product line that includes IBM, Sun, Microsoft and HP. "VersaTest was originally developed to test applications on the ultra-critical HP Integrity NonStop Server, which previously was owned by Tandem," added Miles. "We've added support for all these additional platforms, and our products are now used in a huge range of testing situations spanning many industries. Our customers find significant value in using our software and with Red Hat's recognition by CIO Insight Magazine as the number one enterprise software vendor for value for a number of years, we see the association as an excellent fit."
