FASTSCALE COMPOSER SUITE
FastScale Composer™ Suite Enterprise Edition is a fully automated management platform for building, optimizing, managing and deploying server software in next generation data centers. Spanning physical, virtual and cloud-based infrastructure for both Windows and Linux environments, only with FastScale Composer Suite's unique technology can you:
- Streamline software stacks automatically
- Dynamically provision in seconds to minutes
- Manage patches & configurations via policies
- Increase VM density & decrease memory requirements
- Unify management of virtual, physical & cloud
The complexity of hybrid physical, virtual and cloud infrastructure requires management at a logical level by design — a retrofit will not work. FastScale Composer Suite utilizes a 'logical' server methodology so you can plan, deploy, re-deploy, scale out and manage dynamic environments and disparate platforms without making changes to the software stack — you build once, deploy anywhere.
The award-winning FastScale Composer Suite Enterprise Edition delivers the industry's most advanced platform for managing dynamic, heterogeneous environments requirements while significantly reducing day-to-day operating complexity and cost.
How FastScale Composer Suite Works
FastScale Composer Suite is an elegant, scalable solution for complex data centers, designed from the ground up as a unified platform for building, optimizing, managing and deploying server software environments across virtual, physical and cloud-based infrastructure.
Central Mananagement of All Software Assets
With FastScale Composer Suite's Software Repository, you have centralized version management, tracking, traceability and reproducibility of all software assets including operating systems, applications, configuration files, patches, logical servers, permissions, roles, scripts, metadata and logs. At server
build time, the required components are copied from the Software Repository according to the logical server recipe — you fully eliminate wasted storage on redundant images.
Logical Servers for Dynamic Computing
What is a logical server? It's an abstracted server that can be deployed to virtual, physical or cloud using a single specification. FastScale Composer Suite provides a robust array of tools for defining and optimizing logical servers, including support for complex multi-tiered applications. The graphical Intelligent
Stack Editor™ enables fine-grained configuration and customization. Policy-based, hierarchical settings can be applied to groups of logical servers to customize network information, security or patch policies, environment variables and more.
Just Enough Operating System — Automatically
With patent-pending Application Blueprint™ technology, FastScale Composer Suite can identify the precise operating system dependencies of your application and build a lightweight server with JeOS, on-demand. Configuring your logical server for JeOS results in a server build that is up to 95% smaller utilizing 75% less system resources. With fewer services deployed, lightweight server builds are more secure by design.
Physical, Virtual, Cloud On-the-Fly
With FastScale Composer Suite, server builds are created on-demand from logical server recipes and dynamically deployed to bare metal servers, VMware® Infrastructure or the Amazon® Elastic Compute Cloud, as workload or policy dictates.
The Benefits
Whether you have virtualized your data center, utilize only bare metal servers or deploy to an off-premise cloud, FastScale's integrated and dynamic platform delivers the increased performance, utilization and scalable infrastructure required by leading-edge data centers to deliver more with less.
