Fujitsu has said that its software with improved server management functionality is available in Japan. According to the company, the new software will enable customers to employ their on-site mission critical systems as enterprise clouds.
The company said that the updated software can automatically configure servers and manage parameters in a multi-vendor, multi-platform environment, allowing customers to utilise their existing IT investments and operate servers for use as enterprise clouds.
Fujitsu’s ServerView Resource Coordinator VE administrative software for visualising virtual and physical server environments, combined with BMC BladeLogic Operations Manager for automation of server operations, automates the entire process of configuring server environments and managing parameters, from installing the OS and middleware to setting parameters for connected devices.
The company said that the ServerView Resource Coordinator enables the visualisation of physical and virtual server environments while unifying server monitoring and operability. It provides situation assessment without distinguishing the types of physical and virtual platforms; and consolidates operations for starting, stopping, and rebooting servers.
The BMC BladeLogic Operations Manager automates the installation of OS, middleware, and applications, in addition to packaging OS installation definition and application settings information to support the automation of server configuration. ServerView Resource Coordinator VE can replicate a configured server’s image and mirror it to other servers, speeding up the infrastructure setup time from request to response, added the company.
The company said that the ServerView Resource Coordinator VE enables the server to recover automatically, if the patch fails after the BMC BladeLogic Operations Manager distributes it, or if the server encounters a fault.
Larry Vaughan, worldwide vice president of emerging markets at BMC Software, said: As private and hybrid cloud adoption continues to grow in the enterprise, it’s become increasingly important for organisations to maintain a consistent service management layer throughout the data center.
Automation is a key component of cloud environments, and we are pleased that Fujitsu is offering BMC BladeLogic Operations Manager to help their customers enable and manage their critical cloud initiatives.
