Quoting from the Scalent official announcement:
Scalent Systems today announced general availability of Scalent™ Virtual Operating Environment (V/OE) version 2.0, the industry’s next-generation server infrastructure repurposing technology.
…
Serving as virtualization middleware V/OE enables data center operations owners to rapidly change entire systems and associated topologies, which servers are running, what software is running on them, and how they’re connected to network and storage, without altering physical infrastructure.
…
Scalent V/OE 2.0 extends Scalent’s broad hardware and OS support, with the introduction of additional enterprise extensibility, including:
- Support for Solaris 10 on x86 and SPARC
- Support for enterprise-class bladed Ethernet switches (for example, the Cisco 65xx)
- Addition of a programmatic interface for third-party systems integration
Virtual Strategy Magazine also published a podcast about this release with company’s VicePresident of Marketing Kevin Epstein.
The virtualization.info Virtualization Industry Roadmap has been updated accordingly.
