PolyServe

PolyServe software consolidates servers and storage into manageable, scalable and available database and file serving utilities. This approach overcomes the limits of server virtualization to extend consolidation benefits to mission-critical applications, and addresses all three major data centre cost footprints: hardware, software and storage. PolyServe provides the software that unifies many servers and storage devices to form a modular utility that acts as, and can be managed as, as single entity.

With PolyServe, compute or storage modules can be inserted into the utility to boost an application service without disrupting the applications. If a module fails, processing shifts seamlessly over to surviving modules.

In particular, when deploying SQL Servers, PolyServe Database Utility TM software provides a platform to better harness their functionality, acting in other words as a middleware. It helps converting the distributed deployments from a set of "IT Cost Centers", sometimes overburdened by maintenance and troubleshooting, to an enterprise-leveraged "Strategic Asset" where supporting infrastructure is highly scalable, flexibleable to respond to changing workloads or growing business conditionsalways on, and operationally efficient, reducing management and infrastructure costs.

The benefits are substantial including: (i) simplified and centralized management results in better process, less cost and higher quality of service, (ii) resource sharing of hardware and staffing with much higher utilization rates, (iii) High Availability for every database, (iv) Application and Database Mobility for more flexible and scalable infrastructure, (v) On-demand Capacity Scaling to meet growing business needs without over-provisioning.
