Scalent Virtual Operating Environment (V/OE) integration to provide seamless solution for HP BladeSystem customers

Scalent Systems, the leading provider of server infrastructure repurposing software for large enterprise data centers, today announced that it has joined the HP BladeSystem Solution Builder Program. Through its membership, Scalent can more tightly integrate its Virtual Operating Environment (V/OE™) software product with the HP BladeSystem c-Class architecture, extending Scalent's management of the HP platform to increased out-of-the-box functionality. Scalent V/OE makes it easier for data center administrators to make real-time moves to servers, adding greater flexibility to drive down costs and increase failover capabilities of data center systems.

Today's enterprise data centers face escalating costs stemming from hardware expansion server utilization, and rapidly changing operational demands. These challenges result in lower business efficiency, a lack of IT agility, and reduced bottom-line success. Unlike many traditional virtualization solutions, Scalent V/OE can meet all of these challenges. Scalent's solution addresses the entire data center environment, not just the individual server “box.” Scalent V/OE enables data center operations owners to rapidly change entire systems and associated topologies – which servers are running, what software is running on them, and how they're connected to network and storage – without altering physical infrastructure .

“Scalent has demonstrated the ability to increase reliability, responsiveness, flexibility, and asset utilization in enterprise data centers,” said Jeffrey Webb, director of alliances at Scalent Systems. “Deepening our ongoing relationship with HP at a technical level enables these customers to further extend their adaptive infrastructure.”

The Scalent solution encompasses support for Linux, Solaris and Windows, and hypervisors like VMware and Xen, as well as supporting and extending the capabilities of the HP BladeSystem “best-run” solutions.
“HP is always seeking innovative solutions like Scalent V/OE for our customers,” said Mike Kendall, manager, HP BladeSystem Solution Builder Program, HP. “Solutions built with Scalent V/OE and HP BladeSystem will help enterprises increase their data center reliability, responsiveness, flexibility, and asset utilization, further enabling rapid change at lower cost, energy, and time within the HP adaptive infrastructure framework.”
