Server Automation System

The Server Automation System (SAS) was designed to provide provisioning, policy enforcement, compliance reporting, and patching of Windows, Unix and Linux servers across thousands of servers. It is now sold as HP Server Automation software. By using Opsware Server Automation System in conjunction with the Opsware System 6.5, you can be assured that that your teams are employing closed-loop change execution processes and performing impact analysis before changes are executed to ensure that all changes are made correctly the first time. Reduce Operating Costs and Increase Productivity. Put an end to doing repetitive tasks by automating common operational jobs. With these tasks automated in a consistent, compliant, manner, Opsware delivers significant, measurable savings in time and resources. Tasks that used to take several administrators, days to accomplish can be reduced to a single administrator, completing the task in hours. Respond to Business Requirements with Speed and Agility. If you are always fighting fires, you can’t focus on the strategic IT initiatives that further the business. By automating the server management lifecycle, routine tasks such as patching servers consistently take a few hours instead of days. Plus, delivering new services is easier, faster and less error prone with standardized server and application automation. Proactively Manage Regulatory Compliance. At the core of today’s IT compliance initiatives, such as ITIL adoption, tightened security controls, and proactive compliance enforcement is IT automation. Without automation, compliance enforcement is, at best, labor-intensive, but often, nearly impossible. Opsware Server Automation System completely automates the task of setting and enforcing regulatory and best practice standards. Opsware delivers executive-level, at-a-glance visibility into server, software, and application configuration for regulatory compliance. Breakdown Operational Silos to Work Smarter. Today’s applications are distributed, drastically increasing management complexity for systems administrators. Opsware delivers a holistic solution with a single view of application dependencies and network details along with server hardware and configuration information. This provides unprecedented visibility along with an integration to change and configuration management into the application stack to speed troubleshooting and allow operators to perform ‘what-if’ impact analysis.
