The vision behind FlexFrame Infrastructure is to provide a platform to build dynamic, service-oriented IT infrastructure for enterprise applications based on industry-standard architectures. By using a uniform resource management, physical real and virtual servers can be assigned to applications on demand. Dynamic server provisioning and built-in high-availability functions ensure that required service levels are met and administration efforts are reduced significantly.
The resource management (ServerView PAN Manager) of FlexFrame Infrastructure hides the complexity of various server- and I/O-virtualization technologies and shifts administration tasks from dealing with technologies to managing service levels. PRIMERGY BladeFrame is the first FlexFrame Infrastructure implementation in our DDC platform portfolio. FlexFrame Infrastructure will gradually extend the operating principle of BladeFrame to the PRIMERGY Blade Server line, starting with BX600.
“The deployment of FlexFrame Infrastructure in our data center can free us from the claws of a complex IT infrastructure. We are now able to activate an additional server in a matter of minutes instead of days and we can deploy new applications very quickly.”
