Egenera® vBlade SoftwareTM
Egenera® vBlade softwareTM is an extension to Egenera® PAN ManagerTM software that provides an entirely new and simple way to manage both physical servers and virtual machines. With vBlade software, virtual or physical resources are configured, allocated, repurposed and managed all through the familiar PAN Manager interface in exactly the same manner. vBlade software is an important step forward in managing virtual and physical resources, allowing the user to take advantage of the full range of virtualization services including:
- N+1 automatic failover
- Disaster recovery
- Resource pooling
- BladeFarmsTM
- Suspend/resume
- Live Migration
- Security
vBlades are user-defined partitions of a physical blade, used to consolidate multiple virtual machines onto a single physical server. By integrating leading hypervisor technology directly into PAN Manager, customers can easily allocate either a full blade or a partition of a blade based on the needs of the application. This approach eliminates the complexity of managing virtual machines and physical servers in different ways and eliminates the need to add another domain expert into the IT organization.
With full system redundancy and integrated failover, high availability and disaster recovery, the Egenera® BladeFrameTM system with vBlade software provides the optimal platform for virtual machines running production applications.
vBlade software is priced as a separate add-on to the Egenera system. More information is available by calling (1) 1-508-858-3600.
