Application Aware Management of Internet Data Center Software

We have built a comprehensive solution to address the management aspects of deployment and analysis of applications in Internet Data Centers. Our work was motivated by the high total cost of ownership of operating such centers, largely due to the variety of applications and their distinctive management requirements. We have chosen an approach that encapsulates application specific knowledge (is application aware) and deployed it in a number of corporate Internet Data Centers. Operations staff found substantial cost reduction in managing applications using our approach.
