Fusion Dynamic Service Oriented Infrastructure Now Available for IBM Customers.New Dynamic Operating Environment In computing, an operating environment is the environment in which users run programs, whether in a command line interface, such as in MS-DOS or the Unix shell, or in a graphical user interface, such as in the Macintosh operating system. Being Implemented in Marquis Accounts Worldwide to Enable Fully Flexible Data Centers MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. -- Fusion Dynamic, pioneering the service-oriented infrastructure for the data center, has announced today that it will offer the company's new dynamic data center operating environment, DynamicOE[R], on IBM's BladeCenter and System x platform. "One of the value propositions for IBM BladeCenter The IBM BladeCenter is IBM's blade server architecture. History Originally introduced in 2002, based on engineering work started in 1999, the IBM BladeCenter was a relative late comer to the blade market. has long been the enablement of users to create a modular, flexible On Demand IT environment. Fusion Dynamic DynamicOE complements this by delivering service oriented software with focus on the dynamic data center," said Doug Balog, vice president, IBM BladeCenter. "We are pleased to be working with Fusion Dynamic as a part of the IBM BladeCenter ecosystem to bring value to our customers." Fusion Dynamic's DynamicOE is a data-center operating environment that provides end-to-end service modeling; dynamic binding of applications, servers, network, and storage; automated provisioning The ability to set up new communications services for customers automatically. Carriers use automated provisioning to set up their network based on customers' requirements. Such systems control all network devices from a central console and greatly speed up deployment time from days to and availability management from high-level, service-oriented models; replication of service models across data centers (i.e., from OE to OE), and dynamic, real-time, automated adjustment of service capacities. The most recently announced version of DynamicOE operating environment focuses on data centers based upon IBM BladeCenter. Future releases will extend the service-oriented infrastructure to ad hoc For this purpose. Meaning "to this" in Latin, it refers to dealing with special situations as they occur rather than functions that are repeated on a regular basis. See ad hoc query and ad hoc mode. collections of servers, network appliances (1) A specialized device for use on a network. For example, Web servers, cache servers and file servers can be implemented as general-purpose computers with the appropriate software or as network appliances, which are computers dedicated to a single function and cannot do anything , and storage. The DynamicOE is installed in a number of IBM (International Business Machines Corporation, Armonk, NY, www.ibm.com) The world's largest computer company. IBM's product lines include the S/390 mainframes (zSeries), AS/400 midrange business systems (iSeries), RS/6000 workstations and servers (pSeries), Intel-based servers (xSeries) deployments worldwide, including (among others) Elant, ND Satcom, Exostar, and GroupAma. "Because of its leadership, working with IBM allows us to bring to major accounts the capability to fully implement data center architectures that can truly enable the service oriented enterprise," said Asaf Mohr, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of Fusion Dynamic. "We look forward to helping customers benefit from this relationship as we move forward." About Fusion Dynamic Fusion Dynamic has pioneered the service-oriented infrastructure for the data center, a broad-scope, software-based operating environment that dynamically links all of the hardware and software resources into a flexible, adaptive, fault-tolerant, and self-healing infrastructure. This infrastructure permits data centers to be provisioned, managed, and maintained from a high-level, abstract, "application and service delivery" perspective, rather than from the low-level, physical-resource perspective that consumes growing amounts of personnel and capital in virtually every commercial and enterprise data center today. The result is ultra-high availability of services, reduced hardware requirements, significantly lowered operational complexity, and a commensurate reduction in capital and operational expenses. Future releases will extend the service-oriented infrastructure to ad hoc collections of servers, network appliances, and storage. The DynamicOE has been thoroughly field proven in dozens of mission-critical deployments worldwide. Fusion Dynamic's products and technologies are available for deployment in qualifying environments.
