“The IBM BladeCenter with Red Hat Linux provides an excellent platform for our OpenService InfoCenter product suite. This platform provides the performance, scalability, manageability and investment protection our customers demand while delivering server consolidation and virtualization”
— Art Zins, Vice President Business Development, OpenService
Deploying best-of-breed security solutions has resulted in the deployment of a disparate set of products for firewall, intrusion detection, antivirus, vulnerability analysis and other network-centric security functions. This has led to gaps in protection and a high cost of ownership.
The increasing number of security appliances makes the blades desirable for mid-market, enterprise and telecom use. Consolidating the solutions to a single network element dramatically reduces the management task; provides load balancing and failover support in a single solution, further reducing the number of solutions to be purchased; and improves performance.
OpenService InfoCenter is optimized for the IBM BladeCenter. This combination provides a superior blade computing platform for server consolidation, performance and a more manageable environment to achieve efficiencies of operation. InfoCenter builds on the benefits of the IBM BladeCenter to provide a cost effective, highly reliable and modular security and compliance management platform.
OpenService provides scalability and performance of full-log management requirements of large enterprises using an open and standards-based architecture OpenService provides advanced risk-weighted, real-time alerting.
