Resource Orchestrator provides a Logical Server (hereinafter L-Server) function which defines logical specifications (number of CPUs, memory capacity, disk capacity, number of NICs, etc.) for servers (with storage and networks).
Resources are assigned to an L-Server according to defined specifications. An L-Server with assigned resources can perform the same operations as a normal server.
To operate the server, L-Server users only need to be aware of the specifications defined for the server, and not the resources assigned to it.
The following advantages are gained by using Resource Orchestrator L-Servers:
Simple and rapid server configuration
The ideal server can be configured simply and quickly by automatically assigning resources from resource pools according to the L-Server defined specifications.
Reduced management costs
L-Server users do not need to manage the resources assigned to the server. Moreover, resource management is performed by an infrastructure administrator, reducing overall management costs.
Integrated operation of physical servers and virtual servers
L-Servers can be created for both physical servers and virtual servers.
After creating L-Servers, operations can be performed without differentiation between physical and virtual servers.
Information
Resources from resource pools can be automatically assigned or specific resources can be manually assigned to an L-Server.
