Control virtual machine sprawl
Once virtualization has become the default platform in the enterprise, a strong control has to be enforced on how new workloads are provisioned. At the same time there is a desire to make the actual workload creation process as simple as possible. PlateSpin Orchestrate has a powerful template based provisioning system, allowing data center administrators to create predefined templates for all workloads that are to be deployed in the data center.
Manage Heterogeneous Virtualization
Today’s data centers increasingly employ a heterogeneous mix of different hardware, operating systems and hypervisor technologies that must work together to meet business needs. PlateSpin Orchestrate offers a simplified console to operate your heterogeneous virtual environment and start, stop, clone or migrate virtual machines, allowing you to confidently deploy and manage VMware, Microsoft and Xen virtualization in your data center.
Automate Runbook Procedures
Manual intervention in the data center is costly and error-prone. Automation of VM life cycle operations leads to repeatable, cheap and efficient procedures. The data center infrastructure manager can use PlateSpin Orchestrate to define policies and advanced scripts that focus on run book automation. Use cases vary from consistently powering on virtual machines in a predefined order to optimizing VM backup operations.
