FASTSCALE VIRTUAL MANAGER
Imagine the following. Without manual effort, software environments are built automatically, streamlined on demand and always have the appropriate patches and updates. Compact software environments are provisioned to either virtual or bare metal servers in only seconds. The entire infrastructure, both virtual and physical, is a dynamic pool of resources, able to run any application at any time.
This is exactly what FastScale Virtual Manager™ delivers. Virtual Manager for FastScale Composer™ Suite provides a high-performance, dynamic solution for managing server software infrastructure so you can:
- Build & streamline software stacks automatically
- Provision & re-provision in seconds
- Run 3X more VMs without degrading performance
- Manage virtual & physical machines from a single point
- Decrease labor-intensive system administration
- Increase overall infrastructure utilization
Designed specifically to address the complexity of building, managing and deploying server software environments on both virtual and physical machines, FastScale Virtual Manager supports the full line of VMware® Infrastructure products including VMware ESX Server, VMware Workstation and VMware Server.

How FastScale Virtual Manager Works
FastScale Virtual Manager was designed from the ground up to provide a unified and completely dynamic solution for managing virtual as well as physical infrastructure. The combination of Virtual Manager and FastScale Composer Suite delivers a complete, dynamic and highly adaptive software solution for managing large-scale server infrastructure, both virtual and physical.
Eliminate Manual Effort
With FastScale Virtual Manager, you automatically build and streamline server software environments on demand in seconds without manual effort of any kind. Server software environments average 99% smaller than traditional golden images and can be provisioned to virtual or physical machines on the fly. Virtual Manager delivers complete automation from start to finish.
Streamline Virtual Resources
Virtual Manager automatically builds a virtual machine disk image (VMDK) for easy download or upload you simply click a link. Best of all, the container is dynamically sized to meet the precise requirements of the application environment, and the appropriate VMware tools are configured and included automatically. So not only is the software environment highly streamlined, but the VMDK and allocated resources are as well.
Increase Infrastructure Performance
The small memory footprint of FastScale software environments has a big impact on performance. In fact, benchmarks of
Virtual Manager show that 3 times the number of virtual machines can run on a given server without degrading performance, and 40 virtual machines can boot in less time than a single traditional environment. Why not deliver more from your virtualization investment?
Re-Purpose On the Fly
FastScale Virtual Manager is the only technology that enables you to provision and re-provision in seconds to optimize for dynamic application and load balancing requirements. Your entire virtual and physical infrastructure is a dynamic pool of compute resources that can be re-purposed in seconds to manage the constantly changing workload needs. With Virtual Manager, you adapt on the fly.
Eliminate Virtual Sprawl
With FastScale Virtual Manager, virtual machines are created dynamically, on demand. They are used as needed and disposed of when no longer required. There is no need to store, sort, update, or manage offline virtual machines. If the environment is required in the future, FastScale Virtual Manager deploys a new one automatically. It's that simple.
The Benefits
Virtual Manager for FastScale Composer Suite fully eliminates the complexity of managing software infrastructure of virtual and physical servers and delivers the lightweight, just-in-time environment needed for the scalable infrastructure of enterprise-class IT organizations.
