[. . . ] ROR serves as a key building block for companies moving forward on their way to implement more dynamic resource management in order to integrate and run their infrastructure in a cloud computing environment. FEATURES AND BENEFITS MAIN FEATURES RESOURCE ORCHESTRATION BENEFITS Automation of provisioning processes for physical and virtual servers Creation and management of resource pools Creation and separate administration of resource groups Role-based access control RESOURCE ABSTRACTION Enables fast and efficient delivery of servers Improves productivity of IT infrastructure administration Improves flexibility of resources usage Increases overall resources utilization Enables operation in multi-tenant environments Allows to enforce enterprise-specific access policies Hides complexity of underlying IT infrastructure Simplifies access to server resources for IT users Enables more consistent infrastructure configurations Enables separation of application and IT infrastructure management Logical server life-cycle management Pre-defined infrastructure templates RESOURCE AVAILABILITY Built-in high-availability option for logical servers Enables easy configuration of a high-available system Relieves users from dealing with various underlying high-availability options Offers protection for heterogeneous server environments (mixed physical and virtual servers, operating systems and hypervisors) Page 1 of 6 ts. fujitsu. com/ror DATASHEET FUJITSU SERVERVIEW RESOURCE ORCHESTRATOR 2. 2 SOFTWARE OFFERING RESOURCE ORCHESTRATION The foundation for effective resource orchestration is ROR's ability to automatically provision a physical or virtual server from shared pools of infrastructure resources (physical and virtual servers, storage, network, OS images). For management of the individual resource pools, ROR not only provides interfaces to Fujitsu's own management platforms, it also can integrate with management products from technology partners. Managing resources in pools improves the flexibility of resource usage and increases overall resources utilization. [. . . ] If resources are no longer needed, they can be released to the resource pool for further usage. RESOURCE ABSTRACTION The flexibility gained through the introduction of a logical server concept based on resource pools in combination with the acceleration of resource delivery through automated provisioning capabilities enables real dynamic resource management required for private cloud environments. Moreover, a logical server concept enables IT organizations to separate infrastructure and application administrative domains, with the advantage that each domain can concentrate on the specific core competencies. Application administrators now can simply define the necessary parameters for a logical server either manually or may choose from pre-defined and pretested logical server templates, which are provided by infrastructure administrators in advance. Having more standardized access to infrastructure resources increases consistency of the complete IT infrastructure and reduces configuration errors that could lead to downtime. RESOURCE AVAILABILITY When creating a logical server, ROR offers the option to request a highavailable server configuration. Depending on the requested server type, ROR automatically selects an appropriate high-availability implementation. As a result, users don't have to care anymore about the various highavailability options of the underlying infrastructure products. For physical servers protection is implemented with an integrated automatic N+1 server failover functionality. Spare servers can be shared between different user groups in order to reduce capital expenses for spare server hardware. For virtual servers, ROR integrates with high-availability functionality provided by the hypervisor products. This way, ROR offers cost-effective protection for heterogeneous environments with mixed physical and virtual servers running different operating systems or hypervisor products.
