Resource Orchestrator centrally manages private clouds and data center resources (servers, storage, and networks). This dynamic resource management software manages these resources as resource pools, reducing infrastructure costs, and strengthening ICT governance.
This section explains some of the features provided by Resource Orchestrator.
Speedy Support for Evolving Businesses
Resource Orchestrator promptly provides servers (with storage and networks) according to the user's specific needs by managing resources, such as servers, storage, networks, and images (*1), as resource pools. By simplifying the launch, expansion, and change of business operations, this software provides quick support for evolving businesses.

Reduced Infrastructure Investment Costs
Resource Orchestrator provides complete visualization of servers, storage resources, and network resources, making the state of each of these resources visible to users. This allows for the effective use of unused resources and planning for the installation of required resources. Moreover, infrastructure investment costs are reduced, since resources that could not be diverted to other uses can be used effectively.
Reduced Infrastructure Operational Costs
Resource Orchestrator provides a template which defines logical specifications (number of CPUs, memory capacity, disk capacity, number of NICs, etc.) for servers with storage and networks. Using this template to standardize the configuration of a system including servers, storage, and networks, offers the following benefits:
Simplified configuration of systems.
Reduced risk of mistakes by using proven values for parameter settings when installing an operating system or setting up storage and networks.
Reduced infrastructure operational costs by using a unified configuration for managing versions of security software or backup methods over multiple systems.
Practicing ICT Governance
Resource Orchestrator can perform security management, including user and role management and access control, regardless of the platform size. Pooled resources can be divided and secured by user (tenant), enabling operation in accordance with ICT governance.
Integrated Operation and Monitoring of Physical and Virtual Resources
Even in environments with both physical and virtual resources, unified operations can be performed from one console for central management.
