Company Overview

Egenera has been selling its mission-critical PAN Manager® Software since 2001. Based on the Processing Area Network (PAN) concept, PAN Manager simplifies data center infrastructure and management by pooling compute, I/O, network and storage resources. The system’s embedded server profile creation, HA and DR facilities ensure a wire-once, always-on environment that supports all virtualization technologies as well as native operating systems.

PAN Manager Software is available on these major platforms: HP BladeSystem, the Egenera® BladeFrame®, Fujitsu Primergy BladeFrame servers, Fujitsu Primergy BX900 blade servers and Dell blade servers. Availability on additional volume platforms is anticipated in the near future.

Egenera has thousands of production installations globally, including premier enterprise data centers, service providers and government agencies. PAN Manager is used by IT operations professionals, offering proven, easy-to-use solutions that provide

• Mission-critical availability for enterprise applications such as SAP and Oracle
• High availability (HA) and disaster recovery (DR) for mixed physical and virtual environments
• Rapid server profile creation and provisioning for both single servers and entire environments
• Elastic Infrastructure-as-a-Service foundations for cloud-computing

Simpler to install and use than traditional management, clustering and DR tools, PAN Manager is more reliable and typically reduces TCO by 50% over alternatives. Egenera customers benefit from up to 75% fewer physical I/O and networking components, and have simplified their IT operations by as much as 95% compared to traditional point-products.

Our unique approach is enabled by technologies including I/O virtualization, converged fabric networking, converged infrastructure and unified computing. Egenera holds a number of patents in these and other areas.

Egenera maintains over 50 partnerships with the world’s leading technology companies including AMD, Citrix, Dell, EMC, Fujitsu Technology Solutions, HP, Intel, Microsoft, Novell, Oracle, Red Hat, SAP and VMware.
