New functionality gives customers the ability to automate and scale their server deployments across multiple clouds

PALO ALTO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- ScaleXtreme, Inc., a web-based server management company, today introduced Dynamic Server Assembly™, a new product update that gives ScaleXtreme Xpress and ScaleXtreme Xpert users the ability to quickly create highly structured servers. With Dynamic Server Assembly, organizations will now be able to model, provision and launch servers with a variety of cloud computing providers. This new technology enables IT professionals to create specific structures, or templates, and then easily apply them to new machines, across cloud and server systems – allowing customers to create automated and repeatable systems to help scale their cloud deployments.

The result is a smart cloud architecture that lets ScaleXtreme customers rebuild machines on the fly with any cloud provider. This on-demand structuring and deployment allows customers to drive servers and workloads to different, but federated, cloud systems upon request, leading to more scalable, efficient and cost-effective cloud and server infrastructures.

“Enterprises are often so eager to adopt cloud services that they fire away and forget that successful cloud computing goes beyond just launching server drones,” said Bernd Harzog, analyst at The Virtualization Practice. “It is important for enterprises to ensure they automate the process of building, launching and managing their servers and create repeatable server configurations to help scale their deployments. This also allows them to easily transport their server configuration from one cloud provider to another, using technology like Dynamic Server Assembly.”

ScaleXtreme provides a single, unified view to provision and manage servers throughout the entire lifecycle of the machine. This new functionality complements the powerful existing server management functionality that ScaleXtreme already provides – giving customers tools to manage both their existing servers (typically within the enterprise) as well as launch new servers—whether local or hosted, in public or private clouds—through a single web-based service.

“We’ve integrated Dynamic Server Assembly into our Xpress and Xpert products to help companies of all types and sizes build their server systems from scratch to be optimized for cloud computing,” said Nand Mulchandani, co-founder and CEO of ScaleXtreme. “Whether a business has highly-specialized structured servers or a number of different operating systems and applications, ScaleXtreme’s Dynamic Server Assembly helps streamline the process of creating, cloning and editing server templates and apply them to new machines.”

ScaleXtreme’s Dynamic Server Assembly functionality is available today to any customer using the ScaleXtreme Xpress and Xpert products in the cloud – without the need for any software update.
