Egenera announced that Intermedia has completed a proof of concept (POC) implementation of the Dell / PAN System designed by Egenera. Intermedia's POC used the Dell / PAN solution to quickly deploy and remotely manage servers for a dynamically expanding user base and workload.

New York-based Intermedia provides enterprise-grade, hosted IT solutions such as Microsoft Exchange, to the small and medium business market. To offer enterprise-grade solutions with industry leading Service Level Agreements at an affordable price, the company is investing in products that ensure high-availability, flexibility, and provide rapid recovery through improved data center efficiency. The POC was used to test "pods" of 30 pre-configured servers that are used to deploy new infrastructure within Intermedia Data Centers.. The Dell / PAN solution allows Intermedia to remotely manage and re-provision servers for rapid deployment, consolidate fiber and network connections, and simplify controllers and proxy, all through one centralized management tool.

"We are impressed by the simplicity of design and rapid redeployment provided by the Dell / PAN solution," said Brent Rich, Director of Technical Operations at Intermedia. "Previously, our staff had to travel to one of our remote data centers to perform each new server installation for deployment. We are now able to leverage cost effective onsite data center technicians to remotely provision, deploy, and manage these same activities, saving time and significantly shortening the deployment process. The POC demonstrated the flexibility and value of this solution and our future path lies with PAN Manager Software by Egenera and Dell."

An Overview of PAN Manager by Egenera
You need a data center optimization strategy that goes beyond hardware consolidation to simplify operational complexity, adapt to your existing environment, and deliver a secure, responsive computing infrastructure-while lowering TCO. PAN Manager by Egenera, a world-class infrastructure virtualization solution will bring your data center to unprecedented levels of manageability. Download Whitepaper.

Building a Reliable and Dynamic Data Center with PAN Manager by Egenera
Leading IT managers are taking steps toward a more dynamic data center by implementing strategies such as industry-standard computing platforms, storage area networks, and server virtualization. This paper looks at the requirements for the dynamic data center and demonstrates how Egenera meets these requirements with its PAN Manager by Egenera software. Download Whitepaper.

Maximizing Business Agility with the Dynamic Data Center
The first phase of virtualization - server consolidation- delivers lower costs, less crowded floor space, and a smaller carbon footprint. Leveraging virtualization more strategically creates an agile IT infrastructure that will provide higher service levels and greater reliability along with further reductions in TCO - what Egenera calls the dynamic data center.
