Appistry, a leading provider of application fabric software has announced the availability of a new power management add-on for its Appistry Enterprise Application Fabric (EAF).
Appistry EAF simplifies the development and deployment of large-scale applications by virtualizing them across a pool of inexpensive computers in the data center.
Using Appistry EnergySaver, application fabric administrators are able to easily define policies establishing acceptable system workload levels. Appistry EnergySaver constantly monitors fabric utilization and automatically turns off computers when application utilization is low, and then reactivates them when additional capacity is required.
"Appistry EAF allows customers like GeoEye, FedEx and Clearent to shift the economics associated with their high-volume business applications," said Kevin Haar, CEO of Appistry. "EnergySaver builds on the fact that applications running on a fabric are decoupled from the servers on which they run, and simply turns off machines when they aren't needed. This allows customers to significantly reduce power consumption and, as a result, slash energy costs, cut cooling requirements and reduce their impact on the environment."
