In today’s complex application delivery environments, data center personnel must actively manage resources to deliver the best experience to end-users. This is especially true for applications where utilization is subject to unpredictable demand during peak and off-peak hours. In many cases, organizations rely on IT staff to actively monitor application environments and manually make corrections.

Imagine an appliance that could automate your ability to notify, log and make corrections to your application environments in a single, easy to use rule set. Equalizer’s Smart Control framework delivers just that and much more. Intuitive construction of graphical or CLI based rule sets automate the processes that notify administrators or network operations centers of potential problems, log detailed accounts of conditions, and power up additional virtual or physical servers to respond to the outage or change in demand, all without needing manual intervention. The [Smart Control] tool set allows you to detect potential problems and react to them before your site goes down or customers notify you of a problem. The Smart Control framework also allows you to gracefully power down unused virtual or physical servers with IPMI compliant power supplies, free up resources for more important tasks, or just save power in your data center.
