PlateSpin PowerRecon is a software solution that provides new levels of intelligence and analysis for consolidating and optimizing the data center by collecting hardware inventory data, resource utilization and workload statistics.Remotely identify what resources exist in the data center and get a complete hardware, software and services inventory with absolutely no manual effort or disruptive agent technology. Determine the optimal fit between server resource supply and workload demand and take the guesswork out of capacity planning, server consolidation, and continuous server optimization projects.Quickly and easily visualize how the characteristics of server workload will look before and after consolidation takes place. Combine with PlateSpin PowerConvert to automate the consolidation project, from inventory and analysis to server migration without having to touch the source or target machines.PlateSpin PowerRecon and PowerConvert combine to deliver the world's first end-to-end server consolidation solution, from capacity planning through to automating the migration of data, applications and operating systems to the most appropriate targets.Remotely and agentlessly identify server resources in the data center, and produce a complete picture of server details through full hardware and software inventory.Rich visualization provides meaningful insight into the fit between application workloads and server resources. Perform deep analysis into server workloads over time and identify servers that are candidates for consolidation or optimization.Perform on-site data collection and analysis of multi-platform environments with low network and monitoring overhead, from a single and secure location. Completely self-contained, PowerRecon does not require information to be sent outside of the organization. Designed for Continuous Data Center Optimization Continuously measure the fit between workloads and resources and initiate server consolidations as required for on-going server optimization.VOLUME LICENSE AGREEMENTThe VLA offers a cost-effective way for organizations who want a low level of commitment to Novell to purchase licenses without a signed contract.
