Scalent Systems Releases Virtual Operating Environment (V/OE) Version 2.0

Tuesday, 29 August 2006 by Michel Roth

Scalent Systems today announced general availability of Scalent Virtual Operating Environment(TM) (V/OE) version 2.0, the industry's next-generation server infrastructure repurposing technology. Scalent is the first company to deliver comprehensive data center virtualization technology, addressing not only individual servers, but also the entire related network and storage environment. Scalent V/OE 2.0 enables enterprises to radically increase data center flexibility and asset utilization, while combating spiraling IT costs.

With Scalent V/OE, infrastructure repurposing becomes nearly instantaneous. Changing system function and topology doesn't require touching physical cables or machines. Instead of spending hours or days reloading software, changing configurations and even moving machines and cables, IT teams can rack once, cable once, then reconfigure repeatedly, in minutes, effortlessly. Failover is automatic, and data center functionality matches the data center schematic -- what you see is what you get.

Scalent V/OE 2.0 extends Scalent's broad hardware and OS support, with the introduction of additional enterprise extensibility, including:

� Support for Solaris 10 on x86 and SPARC
� Support for enterprise-class bladed Ethernet switches (for example, the Cisco 65xx)
� Addition of a programmatic interface for third-party systems integration
