Unisys Selects PlateSpin Software

PlateSpin Ltd. announced an agreement with Unisys Corporation in which Unisys will offer PlateSpin data center optimization technology as part of the Unisys Real-Time Infrastructure solution for enterprise virtualization. Unisys offers the solution to enable clients to quickly and efficiently deploy virtualized infrastructures in their data centers.

Unisys will provide both the PlateSpin PowerRecon data center assessment solution and the PlateSpin PowerConvert OS Portability technology (patent pending) on Unisys servers based on Intel x86 processors.

PowerRecon offers Unisys customers the ability to remotely capture server workload and resource information to determine where OS and applications should reside for optimal savings and performance. PowerConvert then provides the ability for Unisys customers to rapidly and easily decouple the data, applications and operating system from any server and stream them to the most appropriate environments based on virtual platforms.

“This agreement combines industry-leading optimization solutions from PlateSpin with Unisys expertise in enterprise computing, and expands the range of customers we can serve together,” said Eric Courville, PlateSpin Vice President of Global Alliances. “Together, Unisys and PlateSpin intend to provide those customers with a complete end-to-end solution to meet their enterprise data center optimization needs.”

“PlateSpin provides Unisys with market-leading virtual systems workload management technology that meets the requirements of enterprise class data center infrastructures,” said Alan Bender, vice president and general manager, Real Time Infrastructure Solutions, Systems & Technology, Unisys. “We believe that this technology will make it easier for our customers to deploy virtualized infrastructures with a significant savings in time, labor and money.”
