There's a virtualization party going on in Palo Alto lately. It's tangible everywhere, but the reliable indicator that it's a raging party is how long it takes to park your car downtown. No, it's not the Stanford marching band playing tricks, nor is it the new VMware campus, or the XenSource gang over near 101 and Oregon Expressway (thought that's close). Those guys are all server virtualization. We're talking about Scalent Systems, and how we're changing the infrastructure virtualization world as we know it today.

Are you already an expert on the server virtualization market? How much do you know about infrastructure virtualization? We won't throw you a pop quiz this time, but if you're going through a hypervisor installation in your data center, or even considering it, you should read on. It's likely that there are many other CIOs in your industry who are thinking about how they can drive up return on assets and utilization on their existing infrastructure by leveraging Scalent V/OE software.

Our partners: Back to the original question. EMC, Unisys, and HP are all world-class technology product and services vendors that have partnered with Scalent Systems in OEM and resell relationships within the past quarter. These partners recognize that infrastructure virtualization will be valuable to their install base, where the ability to efficiently manage a heterogeneous data center environment translates into dollars saved. Scalent is honored to have partners who can help spread the word, resell our product, and deploy our software in massive data center installations around the world.

Our product: Scalent V/OE software enables data centers to react in real-time to changing business needs by dynamically changing what servers are running and how those servers are connected to network and storage. [more here... it's about the connectivity!] We support existing x86, SPARC, and PowerPC hardware running Windows, Linux, Solaris, and AIX servers, as well as full VMware ESX and Xen hypervisors. We can take one or more physical computers, turn them on & off, and set their network topology. Our product is complementary to VMware and Xen, which allow lots of virtual machines to run simultaneously on one physical computer; Scalent manages physical and virtual machines and connectivity to network and storage of all stripes and colors.
