VoyenceControl automates network planning, design, deployment and change management processes, while the Opsware System automates a broad range of server and software operations including system provisioning, software provisioning, change management, patch management, application deployment and configuration tracking.
"The combination of Opsware's data center automation software and Voyence's network configuration management solutions provides productivity improvements and increased security for today's data centers," says Michael Bunyard, vice president of worldwide marketing at Voyence. "Together, Opsware and Voyence allow customers to seamlessly and automatically manage critical network devices and servers, significantly reducing the chance of manual errors being introduced into the data center environment during the change process."
Voyence said the deployment of Opsware will help it achieve greater IT efficiencies and lower its data center costs.
"Network configuration management is a key to automating data center operations and reducing costs stemming from security vulnerabilities from improperly configured devices," says Sharmila Shahani, senior vice president of marketing at Opsware Inc. "Enterprises are demanding solutions that can automatically track, store and recover critical software and server configuration information. The partnership between Opsware and Voyence increases operational efficiencies in the data center by enabling enterprises to quickly diagnose and fix problems related to configuration errors."
In conjunction with the announcement, Voyence said it has joined the Opsware solution partner program. As a member, Voyence will receive access to Opsware's Web Services interface and APIs and participate in joint selling and co-marketing activities.
Voyence and Opsware are members of the DCML organization, a collaborative effort established last October to develop the industry's first vendor-neutral data center specification.
