Ecoviv's Wand enables browser-based management of Sun's Logical Domains resulting in better asset utilization, easier manageability & significant time saving.

Let’s start with a question.

You’re a busy Systems Administrators who needs to setup and manage virtual environments (LDoms) on your Sun CoolThreads server, all while flawlessly executing on three other high-visibility projects.

Which of the following two options would you prefer?

If you prefer Option 2, Ecoviv may have just the tools for you...

Logical Domains offer a powerful and consistent methodology for creating virtualized environments across your CoolThreads servers. As a full-featured and robust bare-metal hypervisor, LDoms can be invaluable for the enterprise, but like many powerful technologies, it does have a significant learning curve.

To become proficient, you'd probably need to pick up some core LDoms concepts, like control domain, virtual disk and network services, and the command set for creating and provisioning guest domains, and allocating resources. And that's just for starters and doesn't include writing, testing or maintaining any new scripts.

If you're like most administrators, you probably don't have the bandwidth for all that. That's where we come in. We can help make virtualizing your CoolThreads servers as easy as point-and-click.

A new web-based application, Wand, enables you to easily manage LDoms. With a three-tier architecture written entirely in Java and XML, a robust architecture that leverages Sun's Cacao agent framework, and a browser user interface, Wand is enterprise-ready, secure, and well-suited for distributed management.

With Wand, you'll be able to get productive in minutes rather than days or weeks. You'll be able to see exactly how your physical and virtual machines are organized, what resources they have, and create and manage new logical domains with a simple one-click interface.

WAND'S CAPABILITIES INCLUDE:

• LDoms Lifecycle Management

• Virtual Machine Search

• Virtual Machine Migration

• Provisioning Solaris to Guest Domains

• Provisioning LDoms Manager

• Enable SNMP on Logical Domains

• Virtual Disk Discovery

Wand will also keep track of your resource (RAM, CPU, Crypto, etc) allocation in a centralized database. So you won't have to wonder if you have enough CPUs for that new guest domain you just added.

And you'll be able to visually search for guest domains using a full-text indexed search – so you won’t need to maintain your virtual machine mappings in a spreadsheet.
