CASSATT SOLUTIONS: IMPROVING RESOURCE, OPERATIONAL, ENERGY EFFICIENCIES
Slash Operating Costs and Run a More Green Data Center
Cassatt helps companies run a green data center with innovative technologies
and software solutions to improve resource, operational, and energy efficiencies.
Electricity and cooling costs for large data centers are outstripping all
other operational and equipment costs, chiefly because servers are powered
on 24 hours a day, standing ready to handle the highest imaginable level
of peak demand, whether or not they are being used at any given moment. The
result is a huge amount of waste: the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) recently reported that data centers are consuming up to 1.5 percent
of all the electricity generated in the U.S. It is more than the electricity
consumed by the nation's color televisions and similar to the amount of electricity
used by the entire U.S transportation manufacturing industry, which includes
the manufacture of automobiles, aircraft, trucks, and ships.
How can you get started solving your power and cooling problem? Cassatt
is in an ideal position to help. Our expertise and experience in utility
computing and data center automation give us the depth and breadth to
tackle this problem in a way that's easy, affordable, and non-invasive.
For immediate, compelling payback, take a look at our Active Power Management
technology. It is only one of the approaches that Cassatt can provide you
for improving how you run your data center.
Cassatt Active Power Management is breakthrough technology that safely and
intelligently powers servers off when they are not needed or idle. Controlled
by policies set by administrators and optimized automatically, Cassatt
Active Power Management™ technology continually optimizes power consumption
based on the time of day, demand for applications, curtailments imposed
by power companies, or other facilities-based events. Cassatt Active Power
Management technology is policy-based, aware of application requirements and
interdependencies, and hardware and software independent.
These solutions help you tap into the unused capacity of your existing systems, while increasing the speed of response to changing business needs, and ensure that none of your IT assets sit idle. Cassatt enables you to quickly repurpose servers from one task to another in just minutes and automate the management of virtual resources - reducing operational costs.
These solutions automate the management of the your physical and virtual server environment, and get your virtualization strategy under control. Cassatt enables you to reap the benefits of server consolidation, highly available virtual servers, better service levels, reduced costs, and more.
These solutions bring the benefits of virtualization to your Java-based SOA applications. Cassatt automation software creates a pool of resources, decoupling J2EE applications from their servers that results in better responsiveness and server utilization, and decreased capital and operational costs.
These solutions help you alleviate the day-to-day system administrative burdens, which then increases overall data center management efficiency and lowers operational costs. Cassatt Active Response automation software is driven by a rules-based optimization engine, which means your IT staff does not have to work with scripts or schedulers. Instead of relying on specialized administrators to constantly adjust machine loads, roll-out patches, and adjust network allocations. Active Response automates the majority of load adjustments, patch management and networking adjustment across all platforms, vastly improving administration efficiency.
These solutions create a continuous supply-demand balance with "capacity pooling" across multiple hardware platforms. Cassatt's service level automation measures, analyzes and responds to resource demands, always guaranteeing sufficient capacity availability based on existing hardware and pre-defined rules and priorities. This saves administration time and cost while ensuring business service availability. Plus, applications which only consume the resources they need means that all hardware investments are used at their highest efficiency.
These solutions help you singularly manage all of your physical, virtual, failover and production systems as a shared pool of resources, which are then dynamically allocated according to pre-defined service level agreements. Cassatt can allocate and re-provision new physical and/or virtual machines from bare metal within minutes, which significantly increases capital efficiency.
These solutions help you transform your static data center into a utility that dynamically adapts to the needs of your business and results in both capital and operational cost savings. Cassatt implements utility computing by pooling data center resources, allocating those resources based upon business policies, and then continually optimizing your environment. We call this service-level automation. Not only does utility computing deliver real cost savings, it also allows IT to become an asset that dynamically adapts to the needs of the business.
