Introduction

The Datacentre Automation Suite (DAS) is software which allows organisations to manage both virtualised and non-virtualised servers through an easy-to-use web console.

The DAS management console is a multi-layer structure which enables administrators to assign specific permissions to departments and individual users according to the business rules of the organisation.

Using DAS, enterprise data centre managers can deliver services to departments, subsidiaries, and users - much like an external supplier would.

Automated provisioning and departmental chargeback

DAS enables departments to order services through a custom designed company portal. Requests are delivered immediately, 24 hours a day, 7 days per week. This allows enterprises to rapidly meet workload demands from a shared pool of available resources.

DAS tracks resource usage for all departments and users in the system. The system administrator can immediately be alerted if a department orders excessive numbers off virtual servers, disk space, or other resources. Enterprises have the option to place hard limits on the amount of resources that departments or individual users can consume. Information about system usage can be exported as needed.

APIs to deliver even more

DAS has served the needs of datacenters run by service providers for several years. As a mature product, DAS includes a well documented API for adding applications and functionality that is specific to a given enterprise. The API can be used by datacenter managers or implemented with the help of SWsoft services.

DAS can be installed as a stand alone product; however, users receive the best value when they utilise DAS in conjunction with Virtuozzo.

The combination of DAS and Virtuozzo provides:
