Dynamic Provisioning

Perhaps the largest amount of time spent by IT operations is forecasting physical capacity, adjusting capacity, or adding capacity:

• Provisioning new capacity, including compute, I/O, network and storage, is complex and time-consuming
• Adjusting capacity is cumbersome due to equipment complexity
• Provisioning new physical hosts is time-consuming in a growing virtual environment
• Matching capacity to demand is challenging in a rapidly fluctuating environments

How Egenera Can Help

With the PAN Manager®  software by Egenera®, you can pre-define entire physical, virtual, or mixed server configurations (including I/O, network and storage) simply and easily. Individual servers, or complete networked environments, can be provisioned just when you need them—generally in about 3 minutes

• Simplify the Details: Provision the entire server profile — including vNICs, vHBAs, vMACs, networking, switching, IP load balancing, WWNs, etc.
• Maintain Service Levels : Scaling up or down to match user needs is simple and fast—ensuring you meet quality of service requirements
• Faster time-to-market: Time to deploy new or expanded services is slashed through instant capacity-on-demand for both physical and virtual environments
• Lower operating expenses : All compute, network and storage resources—both physical and virtual—are assembled and orchestrated through simple point-and-click system

Egenera has opened our eyes to a new way of thinking about the data center.
