Scalent software enables our customers to achieve greater data center agility, responsiveness, and return on assets. [Please see our brief animated demo here]

Companies are primarily using Scalent to improve their approach to Business Continuity (for Server Failover / High Availability / Disaster Recovery) and Lab & Capacity Automation (for Test Labs and Managed Service Providers) in production, pre-production, and QA / test scenarios.

Some of our customers are also taking advantage of Scalent's capabilities to assist in their IT Consolidation efforts and extend their existing VMware or Xen hypervisor deployments within the context of the above usages, or independently.

Companies who have used Scalent software to improve their IT consolidation approach have also seen up to 56% improvement in total cost of ownership(TCO) through:

Lower Costs
Companies using Scalent require significantly less investment in initial hardware capital expenditure and in ongoing operational costs. By improving utilization and simplifying repurposing or reconfiguration, less hardware and administration is necessary to maintain and change your data center - and operational costs fall accordingly. Data Center infrastructure management is automated, and systems maintain performance, in a simpler, more scaleable way.

Higher Responsiveness
Scalent enables real-time repurposing of existing infrastructure. With Scalent, a library of images is maintained on a central storage point, enabling physical machines to be rapidly repurposed for different business system servers, on the fly, without any physical network changes. Entire farms of servers, with associated network and storage access topologies, can be automatically changed in minutes, with less interdependence on other functional groups, and without worries about whether the underlying infrastructure is physical or virtual: P2V and V2P transitions are instantaneous.

Improved (Simpler) Processes
By using the Scalent WYSIWYG graphical interface, stored templates, and APIs, instead of physical cable and machine movement, companies have shortened their response, reconfiguration, and deployment times - while also reducing the chance of inadvertent errors in topology recreation. With Scalent, server farm functional reality matches design, every time, consistently.
