The ease and speed with which enterprises can deploy virtual machines has outpaced their ability to provide IP address services to them in a timely fashion. Even such simple tasks as assigning IP addresses to a virtual server, releasing IP addresses after a virtual server is taken down and managing those assignments are growing exponentially more difficult and have become obstacles to achieving true dynamic and real-time environments.

Companies have rushed to deploy server virtualization in order to enjoy the benefits of consolidation— namely, reduced capital and operating costs. The promise of server virtualization also includes enhanced mobility and availability enabled by networked storage. However, ensuring network performance and security for highly mobile virtual machines (VMs) can quickly become an operations nightmare. In order to fulfill the promise of a dynamic environment, VMs need to be supported by an intelligent network. While many vendors are just talking about this concept, BLADE Network Technologies is actively delivering products to solve the problem—for all server virtualization technologies.

Though an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) performs many important functions, most users value them chiefly for the emergency energy they provide during a power outage. UPSs give IT personnel the time they need to protect sensitive equipment and data from the effects of an electrical service interruption by shutting down systems in an orderly fashion or starting a backup generator.
