| Part of
the StorageTek® Virtual Power Suite™, SnapVantage™
software allows rapid deployment of multiple Linux
virtual servers that reside on StorageTek’s Shared
Virtual Array® (SVA™)disk subsystems. |
| |
|
Applications |
Server consolidation
SnapVantage software can be implemented with V-Series
SVA disk systems to centrally deploy and manage hundreds
of Linux virtual servers on an IBM zSeries mainframe. |
| |
|
Benefits |
Real
growth
Achieve a truly scalable virtual server environment
that helps you keep pace with business growth. |
Dynamic
deployment
SnapVantage software maximizes system flexibility by
allowing you to customize the image to be deployed,
adjust the amount of disk space assigned, or default
to the base image. |
Simple
operations
One person - with minimal Linux or Virtual Machine (VM)
knowledge - can set up and manage 500 or more
virtual servers. |
Fast to
market
SnapVantage software cuts time to market and reduces
operating expenses because of rapid deployment and
recovery of virtual servers. Deploy hundreds of
Linux servers with a few clicks of the mouse. |

Features |
Professional support
StorageTek’s services staff can help you evaluate
and design a virtual storage system that
consolidates Linux servers in IBM zSeries
environments. |
No
database hassles
SnapVantage software includes special capabilities
to clone and manage temporary environments for
backup, reporting, testing, training, etc. |
Common
functions
Server management capabilities enable you to perform
common administrative functions for Linux servers,
VM administration and SVA disk activities on the
simple GUI. |
Single
point of control
The user-friendly GUI permits non-technical
personnel to deploy and manage hundreds of virtual
servers. |
