PlateSpin Orchestrate 2.0: virtual environments manager from Novell

23rd March 2009

The company Novell released the package PlateSpin Orchestrate 2.0, designed to coordinate the work of virtual machines based on hypervisors of Microsoft Hyper-V, VMware ESX and Xen.
PlateSpin Orchestrate 2.0 (former Novell ZENworks Orchestrator), is a solution for data processing centers of primary and secondary level. Using the pack administrators can manage multiple virtual environments based on different technologies through a single interface. The new version of the pack can significantly reduce time and money spent on mastering different management tools. In the long run, this package helps create a foundation for apps of new generation by means of existing resources.
PlateSpin Orchestrate 2.0 also provides customers with an enhanced support of LDAP-directories which allows the close integration of the system of administration with multiple directory services. The developers improved the graphical user interface, as well: now it can automate many tasks earlier performed manually. Increased scalability of the pack allows you to manage several hundreds of virtual machines, regardless of which hypervisor is used for them.
