Quick provisioning in physical environment

By provisioning, SSC can implement switches and storage of configuration.

It is possible immediately to start a business after provisioning.

▌Complicated settings are automated by the provisioning of SSC

Provisioning

Because it allows multiple server provisioning at one-click, SSC can built system quickly and without error

Building efficiency


SigmaSystemCenter can manage server and network virtualization

Based on the model of each business system, administrator can build system quickly. Prevent from miscommunication between server and network administrators

1. Only Hyper-V

Problem

2. SCVMM need high SI cost

1. SSC can manage Hyper-V, VMware, KVM, Xenserver

Solution

2. Compared to SCVMM, SSC can easy setup


Optimal provisioning in virtual environment

Automatic selection of the best host and storage device when creating a guest OS

Building efficiency

Benefits

Selects the most suitable host and balances CPU and memory loads

Selects the most suitable storage device and balances storage consumption

Assessment report

SSC outputs the report which shows resource information to manage the virtual environment. It’s possible to modify chart and table data of report.

grasp quickly virtual environment status and easily make report to supervisor.

Resource Optimization in virtual environment 2 Power Consumption Optimization

Virtual Machines are relocated dynamically according to system load level.Idle servers can be powered off if desired to reduce power consumption.

Resource Optimization in virtual environment 1 Optimized Placement of Virtual Machines (2/2)

Enable load equalization and power saving operation by setting up appropriate load threshold in optimization engine.

The Optimization Engine – Threshold set up UIFig.1.Load equalizationby allocating VM tolow load server.

Fig.2.As all servers are loaded beyond a threshold, NEC SigmaSystemCenter will build up a new ESX Server to equalize server load.


Resource Optimization in virtual environment 3 Automated Scale-out

Turns backup server power on and equalizes resources as needed because of high load detection.In case of VMware environment, automated provisioning of new ESX servers from bare-metal state enables on-demand scale-out.
