icomasoft AG, the Swiss innovator in software applications for automated support and management of virtual IT infrastructures, and Fujitsu today announce the global availability of simplified virtual server management with seamless integration of automated functions.
The new release of the VI PowerScripter Professional FT v1.6 plug-in for the Fujitsu PRIMERGY ServerView Suite provides unprecedented ease-of-use and simplification by automating many administrative tasks around managing virtual servers in VMware vCenter, ESX and ESXi environments. In doing so, time and effort spent on routine tasks is freed up to focus on more important priorities.
As virtualization moves into the mainstream, more enterprises are taking advantage of transforming their IT into dynamic infrastructures that can adjust to varying workload demands. Through server virtualization, enterprises benefit from price-performance gains and enjoy added application flexibility. However, virtualization also adds complexity to server administration and management.
This challenge is addressed by the icomasoft VI PowerScripter Professional FT plug-in, which collects and packages server information from Fujitsu’s PRIMERGY ServerView management suite, allowing the scripting of secure, automated administrative procedures for managing multiple Virtual Machine images on a server network.
Jens-Peter Seick, Senior Vice President, x86 Server Product Division at Fujitsu Technology Solutions says: “Many organizations migrating to virtualized server environments, feel that virtual machine administration is an increasing burden. To directly address this point, Fujitsu has teamed up with icomasoft to develop a new plug-in for our PRIMERGY ServerView Suite. Icomasoft’s VI PowerScripter Professional FT makes it easier and more cost-effective than ever before for customers to manage multiple virtualized servers across an entire network. This removes a major roadblock towards a more widespread adoption of server virtualization.”
Icomasoft estimates VI PowerScripter Professional FT v1.6 can save busy virtual infrastructure administrators up to two hours per day due to scheduling and automation of administrative tasks. Diego Boscardin, CEO of icomasoft, says: “Enterprises need reliable and secure ways to automate and schedule routine administrative tasks for the virtual servers on which their business operations are based, whether the data provides the foundation for accurate billing and compliance, monitoring and analysis, or resource management. The icomasoft VI PowerScripter Professional FT plug-in draws on reliable and comprehensive base-data provided by PRIMERGY ServerView management suite, ensuring that IT administrators can make critical business decisions quickly and right-first-time.”
The VI PowerScripter Professional FT v1.6 plug-in for Fujitsu PRIMERGY ServerView is available immediately, priced competitively at €1750, plus tax, for an Administrators Pack including five administrator licenses. Additional licenses are available for €350 per license. Volume discounts and site licenses are available upon request. The plug-in is available direct from icomasoft, from Fujitsu, and will shortly also be available from authorized Fujitsu resellers.
