KEY FINDINGS
Scalent V/OE maintains pools of stateless server images—the OS and
application software, along with the server's virtual I/O topology—in
repositories for easy deployment on any server, in real-time.
Scalent V/OE cleanly separates the management of servers from SANs and
LANs through the creation of virtual HBAs and NICs.
Scalent V/OE is not in the data path so there is no performance impact
or a single point of failure.
If Scalent components fail, there is no impact on the data center
systems.
