COMING SOON: ACTIVERUBY

ActiveRuby aims to be the industry-standard, commercial-grade Ruby distribution used by developers around the world for easy Ruby installation and quality-assured code. Whether you’re using Ruby for mission-critical applications or open source projects, ActiveRuby offers worry-free implementation and significant time savings over open source Ruby for installing and managing common Ruby libraries. ActiveRuby comes precompiled for out-of-the-box installation and includes core Ruby, popular libraries, and complete documentation.

FAIL-SAFE ACTIVERUBY FOR BUSINESS AND MISSION-CRITICAL APPLICATIONS

With ActiveState’s commercial-grade ActiveRuby, you won’t need to depend on overworked internal resources or public Ruby communities to solve issues.

And, if you are looking for access to legacy Ruby, need to install on big iron (eg. AIX, Solaris, or HP-UX), or want to install on production servers, you’ll want to look at our ActiveRuby Enterprise and Business Edition solutions.

ActiveRuby Enterprise Edition is designed for businesses with large Ruby deployments in essential, mission-critical applications that, when down, could cost your business in lost revenue and a damaged reputation. Deploy Ruby with confidence knowing you’re using the most secure, enterprise-grade builds for the platforms that power your business. You’ll get priority access to our Ruby experts for technical support and best practices guidance. Plus, enjoy guaranteed Intellectual Property (IP) indemnification to reduce risk in today’s business environment.

ActiveRuby Business Edition will provide an affordable solution for small- and mid-sized teams that need fail-safe Ruby for business applications, but don’t require advanced features like indemnification or site-wide licensing. Business Edition customers trust ActiveState’s guaranteed technical support and regular fixes and updates to ensure they’re using the most secure, high-performance Ruby.

TURN-KEY RUBY REDISTRIBUTION RIGHTS

ActiveRuby OEM Edition will allow you to include ActiveRuby in your distributed application to provide customers with a seamless experience. ActiveRuby OEM Edition takes the complexity out of open source licensing by guaranteeing assurance and eliminating legal risk that goes along with distributing Ruby in commercial applications. If you’re interested in redistributing ActiveRuby within your code or applications, contact us for licensing options.

COMMUNITY-FRIENDLY RUBY

ActiveRuby Community Edition will be a free, ready-to-install Ruby distribution for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X, designed for community developers or open source projects that are not business- or mission-critical. It can not be used on production machines (Business or Enterprise Editions are needed for anything other than dev/test), nor does it include access to builds for HP-UX, Solaris, or AIX (only available in Enterprise). Support for ActiveRuby Community Edition will be offered through the community and forums only.

If they can sort out Ruby on Windows, that would probably open up a bunch of opportunities for them. Good luck w/ that.
