(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — The US Patent and Trademark Office has issued Infrastructure provisioning software provider Scalent Systems (www.scalent.com) a patent for “a system and a method for implementing a virtual data center.”
According to its Tuesday announcement, Scalent was given US Patent No. 7,574,491 for its unique approach to automating the provisioning and management of datacenter infrastructure with its Scalent V/OE Infrastructure Manager software.
“Scalent V/OE enables data centers to react in real-time to changing business needs, and a critical aspect of that functionality is the product’s ability to create an abstraction that allows servers, networks, and storage access to be managed logically rather than physically,” Scalent chief technology officer Chandy Nilakantan said in a statement. “We’re pleased to see our innovation and leadership recognized by the US Patent and Trademark office.”
Scalent’s software-only solution lets enterprises create a dynamic IT infrastructure that quickly adjusts to the changing needs of business. Its management features are capable of rapidly provisioning both bare-metal and virtual machines, and changing their configurations, without needing to make physical server, cable, or SAN changes.
Scalent V/OE Infrastructure Manager works with industry standard servers, Ethernet switches, and Fiber Channel switches, and is certified for use with servers and network switches from Dell, Cisco and Brocade.
Scalent Systems recently signed an original equipment manufacturer agreement with hardware firm Dell (www.dell.com) under which Dell will sell, service, and support the V/OE Infrastructure Manager as part of its “Efficient Enterprise” solution portfolio. The Scalent V/OE Infrastructure Manager is also available as an OEM product from Unisys, as well as from EMC in the EMC Select catalog.
