Fastscale has seen the challenges VDI has in regards to dealing with the provisioning of virtual machines. They claim that they: can automatically build and streamline server software environments on-demand and provisions them to virtual machines in seconds – without manual effort of any kind. On average, server software environments are 99% smaller than traditional images, and they are built in only seconds. Because of the small memory footprint of the FastScale software environments deployed, benchmark tests of FastScale Virtual Manager have shown that 3X the number of virtual machines can run on a given physical machine without degrading performance.

Increased scalability
Improving user interface (UI) performance in multi-thousand server environments including a redesigned UI for easier management of large deployments, and easier navigation of complex software configurations.

Enhanced configuration management
Streamlining configuration settings for improved ease of use; fine grained configuration control throughout the software lifecycle; expanded options and control over patch policies; flexible rules-based management of external file systems and storage; enhanced control and management of networking interfaces; and, the ability for users to view the impact of rules-based configuration settings before servers are deployed or anytime during the software lifecycle.

Expanded reporting
Delivering broader operational reports for quick administration updates; easy access to granular software environment data; and, new compare functions for administration of complex software configurations.

Full press release.
