15.2 Advanced Infrastructure Manager by Scalent
Dell Advanced Infrastructure Manager (AIM) allows IT organizations to manage networking, storage,
and servers (as well as server workloads) that can be dynamically reconfigured and deployed to meet
the changing needs of today's data center environment. Specifically, AIM provides IT professionals
the ability to:
•
Combine new and existing networking, storage devices, and servers into a holistic computing
solution that enables dynamic allocation of resources to meet application workload
requirements.
•
Manage physical and virtual resources with a single solution that includes the ability to move
workloads seamlessly across hardware platforms for increased availability and scalability.
•
Provide virtualization-like functionality to non-virtual (physical) servers, including automated
failover, dynamic load balancing, and business continuity.
•
Integrate existing infrastructure (networking, storage devices, and servers) into an AIM
solution to provide investment protection and extend the useful life of existing data center
assets.
•
Significantly decrease the amount of time and people required to deploy hardware and get
applications up and running by providing a repeatable, scalable framework for hardware
implementation using AIM.
