Datacenter Infrastructure Management

Overview

Any administrator that has had to manage more than a handful of servers knows how difficult it is to keep on top of things. Applying BIOS and firmware updates, installing operating systems and bug/security patches, keeping track of application software instances - it can all be quite overwhelming when dealing with multiple servers.

Improving reliability on the hardware and application level
Giving system administrators full control of the data-center
Provisioning servers within a few minutes
Consistently applying policies across servers
Adjusting resources based on business demands
Managing heterogeneous x86 hardware

Targeting users in enterprise data centers running Linux on x86 servers, including the following use cases:

Availability for business-critical applications
Hosting environments, managed service providers, or outsourced environments
Dynamically and automatically provisioning servers
Re-allocating resources dynamically, sometimes referred to as “utility computing”
Automating and improving test, development and QA environments
