GridApp Systems Launches Patchworks For Patching Databases

GridApp Systems, Inc., New York, (http://www.gridapp.com), a leading provider of database automation software and solutions, has launched Patchworks, the industry's first automated service that builds, certifies, and delivers custom patching workflow bundles for the database infrastructure. By automating the entire patch management process from the collection of patches to deployment, Patchworks reduces the time and cost associated with patch management.

"Today's enterprises are under pressure to keep pace with an increasing number of patches, and nowhere is this more important than an organization's mission-critical database infrastructure," said Matthew Zito, chief scientist at GridApp Systems. "With the introduction of Patchworks, GridApp provides organizations with an easy way to ensure their systems are quickly and securely patched according to company standards and best practices. By testing and validating patches before they are deployed, Patchworks significantly increases the efficiency of the patching process, while providing organizations with the peace of mind that their database environments are highly secure."

Patchworks is a stand-alone service focused exclusively on streamlining the patching process. Instead of spending weeks scanning for patches, building workflow, pouring over lengthy "Read Me" files, and testing patches against existing environments, Patchworks assumes the burden by providing automated patch customization, patch validation, and a simple one-click patch deployment. Regardless of the size or frequency of the required patching job, Patchworks makes the process quick, safe, and more predictable. Companies can now patch with more confidence while reducing time and administrative costs. Patchworks supports Oracle and MS SQL Server and is available immediately on an annual subscription basis.
