Coping with high complexity in managing dynamic server infrastructures
The demand for more dynamic use of server infrastructures is a trend in today’s data centers. For many IT organizations the implementation of blade server pools in combination with virtualization technologies on various levels is the IT infrastructure of choice to achieve this goal. Beyond enormous consolidation effects such an infrastructure offers an ideal foundation for more flexible usage of server resources. But managing the increasingly more complex underlying technology stack presents a looming problem for IT managers.
Is it possible to improve my daily IT management operations by consolidating portions of the physical and virtual server management tasks?
How can I accelerate life cycle operations of my server infrastructure?
What is a cost-effective way to implement high-availability for my complete server environment, not only for selected mission-critical applications, but for all systems covering a complete business process?
RCVE can give answers to those questions.
