Intelligently automate extreme-scale, heterogeneous data centers with tens of thousands of
applications and servers
Monitor the state of the entire data-center infrastructure and dynamically allocate
resources to applications as needed
Provision stateful and stateless systems with multi-OS software stacks on demand,
reducing deployment time to minutes or seconds
Use application profiles to intelligently place workloads on both physical and virtual resources
Enforce service-level agreements (SLAs) and ensure acceptable quality of service (QoS) for all
users and applications
Anticipate surges in application workload and provision additional resources on demand so that
peak workloads can be accommodated without delay or interruption of services
Identify underutilized resources and pack workloads more tightly to enable existing
servers to complete more workload in less time
Automate system health checks, detect amber light and failure conditions, and
automatically provision replacement servers so that applications finish on schedule
without the need for manual intervention
Monitor power usage, identify underutilized resources, redistribute workloads, and power
down idle servers until required
Provide centralized management across multiple geographically dispersed installations
