The United States Novell to purchase PlateSpin of imagination conversion platform management, to imagination conversion strategic strengthening

The United States Novell February 25th (the American time), the Canadian data center/the hypothetical environmental control software vendor, announced that it reaches to agreement by the fact that PlateSpin is purchased. As for purchase amount 2 hundred million 500 ten thousand dollars. It transacts, it anticipates completion to the April this year with the cash.

PlateSpin developing & offering the solution which can manage the job with environment dynamically. You say that both OS of physical below and hypothetical below, it deals with the data and application, server connection it can accelerate by the fact that this is utilized, can automate process such as rearrangement of data center and upgrade of the hardware.

Novell after the purchasing, integrates PlateSpin to the system resource management division. We have assumed that by the fact that the technology 2 is combined, the solution of optimization management, provisioning and disaster restoration etc. can be offered. For example with optimization management, both of physical below and hypothetical below are done monitoring automatically, you say that optimum balance can be maintained according to the work circumstance and demand of the server. In addition, with provisioning, you say that both workloads of physics and imagination can be set regardless of the platform.

The solution of PlateSpin physical below and hypothetical below being both, Linux, UNIX, corresponds to Windows. We have assumed that with Novell in the future, by the fact that the hypothetical conversion technology "Xen" which the respective company adopts so far with the technology of PlateSpin is reinforced, open source hypothetical conversion technology can be led/read.
