HP has annouced that it is to acquire Polyserve
Founded in 1999, PolyServe is headquartered in Beaverton, Ore., has 117 employees and serves more than 500 customers in a variety of industries including finance, energy and technology. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
PolyServe software works with industry-standard hardware such as HP ProLiant servers and HP's portfolio of storage arrays to consolidate and virtualize NAS in Linux or Windows® environments. With the software, information from file or database servers can be consolidated into a single, shared pool of storage that is highly available and can scale to match business demands.
PolyServe's Utilities make IT's life easier
Most virtualization strategies do little to streamline database or application administration—In fact, in most cases you've added another layer of complexity. By deploying PolyServe's Utilities, IT managers have actually reduced their time to manage applications by as much as 85%.
- Reduce the number of O/S images to manage
- Perform online system and O/S maintenance to eliminate after-hours sessions
- Backup all applications' data at once, 10x faster.
- Push installs and upgrades to many servers at once
- Manage up to 16 servers and many applications under one management console
The PolyServe Difference
PolyServe's virtualization strategy is based on Matrix Server technology. Matrix Server is "shared data clustering" software, based on a cluster file system and cluster volume manager. This technology detaches applications and clients from a physical server, providing:
- The freedom to dynamically assign server and storage resources more efficiently
- Robust high availability
- A platform for more effectively managing applications and infrastructure
