Levin: OpenLogic sells a pre-configured stack of open source components, and we provide all the IP identification characteristics. What they do is certifying and testing and configuration of stacks. SpikeSource (http://www.spikesource.com/) is also a partner of ours. They are not competitors.

InfoWorld: How do you partner with SpikeSource?

Levin: Those two stack vendors have different approaches to the market. So OpenLogic appeals to the enterprise, SpikeSource appeals to the middle market. And what we've done is we provide an automated solution to SpikeSource, and what we do is we jointly call on enterprises with OpenLogic. So [it is] two entirely different approaches to the market, and because of the flexibility of our platform, we're able to offer these partners different ways of engaging with their customer base.

InfoWorld: That leaves Palamida. I think they are a competitor. Correct?

Levin: I would characterize them as a competitor, but not our primary competitor.
