The power of PAN Manager® software by Egenera® starts with the concept of a Processing Area Network (PAN). Egenera’s PAN architecture delivers unparalleled data center efficiency and reliability through the following technologies:
PAN Builder
Traditionally, servers, I/O and network are statically configured and cumbersome to change. The PAN architecture defines a set of PAN foundation services, which pool and abstract industry-standard x86 servers, I/O, SAN storage and data networks into agile resource pools, enabling those resources to be rapidly and automatically re-allocated based upon business requirements.
PAN Server Portability
Using PAN Manager’s automated provisioning capabilities, application mobility lets you move applications among servers on demand, in response to workload requirements, time-of-day scheduling, system outages or changes in application resource utilization. And all without using a hypervisor.
PAN Portability
The combination of PAN foundation services plus application mobility provides a powerful platform for the PAN management services. These integrated services—including rapid server template provisioning, unified management for virtual and physical resources, disaster recovery and high availability—are simple to use and reliable in response to the dynamic requirements of today’s data center environments.
