Virtual Operating Environment (V/OE) Listing updated: June 2, 2008

Scalent's Virtual Operating Environment (V/OE) software lets you change which servers are running, what software stacks your servers are running, and how those servers are connected to network and storage, without needing to make physical machine, cable, LAN connection or SAN access changes.

This means that server repurposing becomes nearly instantaneous, as changing system function and topology does not require touching physical cables or machines. You can rack once, cable once, then reconfigure repeatedly, as needed. Failover is automatic, and your data center functionality matches your data center diagram - what you see is what you get.

nworks Management Pack for VMware Listing updated: May 31, 2008

The nworks Management Pack for VMware extends the reach of Microsoft Systems Center Operations Manager (Ops Mgr 07 and MOM 05) into VMware Infrastructure 3. Completely agentless from a VMware perspective, the nworks solution utilizes native VMware Infrastructure 3 interfaces to remotely gather information from the ESX server farm and VMware VirtualCenter – with no agents on the Host or the Guest. The nworks Management Pack for VMware provides performance, event, state, configuration and topology – including a dynamic service map for OpsMgr 2007. If Microsoft agents are loaded in on the Guests, that data is correlated with the data the nworks MP collects.
