Fujitsu Announces ServerView RCVE

18.05.2009
Fujitsu has announced the launch of ServerView Resource Coordinator VE (RCVE), which reportedly enables enterprises to create dynamic infrastructure from virtual and physical servers in datacenters and cloud computing environments. It also harnesses all physical and virtual resources within complex IT server topologies -- including cloud computing environments -- providing simplified, unified management and ensuring that resources are dynamically optimized to deliver best performance at all times.

As server virtualization has gone mainstream, so it has added a new dimension to datacenter management, as arrays of virtual machines are hosted by individual physical servers, all of which must be managed. This has led to increasing complexity and management cost for IT administrators, including patch management, routine maintenance and break-fix. Furthermore, effective server farm management demands that that optimal system resources are automatically allocated at all times.

The new offering claims to solve this challenge by offering the simplified, uniform, automated management of diverse, heterogeneous pools of virtual and physical servers, and providing intuitive server lifecycle management from a graphics-based management console. In addition to PRIMERGY blade servers, RCVE supports PRIMERGY rack and tower servers as well as x86 servers from other vendors. It also integrates leading virtualization hypervisors including VMware, Microsoft Hyper-V and Xen.
