Red Hat says Scalent Systems is supporting Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 standalone and with Xen, extending virtualization and data center automation beyond hypervisors to bare metal servers, network and storage connectivity.

Scalent V/OE provisions virtual or bare metal servers and associated storage and network topologies, reportedly yielding higher asset utilization and lower costs. It lets data centers react in real-time to changing business needs by shifting workloads and connectivity.

Data centers can transition between different configurations – or from bare metal to live connected servers – in five minutes or less without physical intervention.

Red Hat says Scalent’s approach is highly complementary to its own Linux Automation efforts and offers fully automated disaster recovery across data centers, creates server pools for server rightsizing and scalability through dynamic repurposing; and provides chargeback capabilities, logical secure partitioning, and named pools of resources for rapidly changing operational lab or production environments.
