VIRTUAL MANAGER
Imagine the following. Without manual effort, software environments are built automatically, streamlined on demand and always have the appropriate patches and updates. Compact software environments are provisioned in seconds to minutes without requiring a SAN. The entire infrastructure is a dynamic pool of resources, able to run any application at any time. This is exactly what FastScale Virtual Manager™ delivers.
Virtual Manager for FastScale Composer Suite provides a high-performance platform for managing complex server software infrastructure so you can:
- Streamline software builds automatically
- Provision & re-provision in seconds to minutes
- Run up to 3X more VMs without degrading performance
- Decrease labor-intensive system administration
- Increase overall infrastructure utilization
Designed specifically to address the complexity of building, optimizing, managing and deploying server software environments in complex, heterogeneous environments, FastScale Virtual Manager supports the full line of VMware® Infrastructure products including VMware ESX Server, VMware Workstation and VMware Server.

How FastScale Virtual Manager Works
The combination of FastScale Virtual Manager and FastScale Composer Suite delivers a complete, dynamic and highly adaptive software solution for managing large-scale virtual server infrastructure.
Eliminate Manual Effort
With FastScale Virtual Manager, you can automatically build and streamline server software environments on-demand in seconds — without manual effort of any kind. Server software environments are up to 95% smaller than traditional images and can be provisioned on the fly. FastScale Virtual Manager delivers complete automation from start to finish.
Streamline Virtual Resources
FastScale Virtual Manager automatically builds a virtual machine disk image (VMDK) for easy download or upload — you simply click a link. Best of all, the container is dynamically sized to meet the precise requirements of the application environment, and the appropriate VMware tools are configured and included automatically. So not only is the software environment highly streamlined, but the VMDK and allocated resources are, as well.
Increase Infrastructure Performance
The small memory footprint of FastScale software environments has a big impact on performance. In fact,
benchmarks of Virtual Manager show that up to 3X the number of VMs can run on a given host without degrading performance, and up to 40 VMs can boot in less time than a single traditional environment. Why not deliver more from your virtualization investment?
Eliminate Virtual Sprawl
With FastScale Virtual Manager, virtual machines are created on-demand. They are used as needed and
disposed of when no longer required. There is no need to store, sort, update, or manage offline virtual machines. If the environment is required in the future, FastScale Virtual Manager deploys a new one automatically. It's that simple.
The Benefits
System administration in next generation data centers is more challenging than ever. FastScale Virtual Manager for FastScale Composer Suite eliminates the software complexity of heterogeneous physical, virtual and cloud-based infrastructure and delivers a scalable and integrated platform for just-in-time computing in the enterprise.
