Alpiron Suite by Platforms

Web Servers

Employing Alpiron Suite in power-hungry Web Server environments greatly reduces wasted resources when these servers run idle in off-peak hours.  Alpiron Suite is compatible across all types and makes of hardware and the Alpiron team is on hand during your initial installation to guarantee that Alpiron Suite flawlessly integrates with your specific load balancers and other equipment.   
 

Server-Based Computing

Alpiron Suite supports Citrix XenApp Microsoft Terminal Server, 2X ApplicationServer and Ericom PowerTerm.  Controlled by polices set by administrators, the extremely flexible Alpiron Suite continually optimizes in real-time the number of servers that are active at any one time, adjusting associated power consumption based on demand, availability, day and time. Alpiron Suite readily integrates into your environment immediately upon download – simply configure the initial installation using Alpiron Console and begin saving!  
 

Workstations

Workstations left running idle overnight in empty offices continue to draw power at costly levels.  As well as with the servers in your data center, Alpiron Suite can optimize the power efficiency of all the workstations in your office by turning on or off workstations according to the policies you create.  Alpiron Suite provides full support for all workstations – including those which rely on Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) – and is ready for action immediately upon download.
 

Virtualization

Alpiron Suite supports Citrix Xen Server, Microsoft Hypervisor and VMWare ESX.  Many organizations today are moving towards virtualization as a means of optimizing computing and energy resources.  Deploying Alpiron Suite’s power-saving capabilities into this environment further boosts your energy saving potential.

The challenge in a virtual environment - where numerous virtual servers run on top of one physical server - is to shutdown that physical server when the last virtual server goes offline.  Alpiron Suite automatically identifies the last server going offline and then intelligently powers off the host, completely eliminating any disturbance to users without affecting the guest which still actively delivers computing resources.
 

Cloud Computing

Many organizations are turning toward cloud computing as a step toward reducing power consumption in their data centers.  When you incorporate Alpiron Suite to your cloud environment, the power savings only increase; use Alpiron Suite to intelligently turn on and off images in the cloud and better optimize your resources. 
 

Hybrid Clouds

Hybrid Clouds are the latest development in cloud computing and a further step towards the optimization of resources in an IT environment.  The concept is simple: you begin with a specific pool of available resources in your private cloud, and once these resources are fully utilized you incorporate additional resources from the public cloud.  Managing computing resources across a hybrid of private and public clouds, however, adds another degree of complexity for the administrator.  You must continuously monitor demand across all your machines, private and public, and continually add or remove real-time resources in order to reap the economic savings without affecting your end-user’s experience.

Alpiron Suite allows you to easily and efficiently manage both the servers in your private cloud as well as any virtual servers in your public cloud.  Simply schedule policies to bring on more capacity from your public cloud during peak hours and to power these virtual servers down when not required.  Using Alpiron Suite to dynamically monitor demand and automatically manage capacity in your hybrid environment guarantees that you maintain end-user SLAs, maximize your IT resources, and minimize your operational expense.
