Arsys, one of Europe’s leading domain name registration and web hosting services companies, has selected BladeLogic’s award-winning suite of data centre automation solutions to automate all of its data centre management initiatives.

Through the deployment of BladeLogic, Arsys is now able to automate the entire server management lifecycle, including discovery, provisioning, configuration change management, compliance auditing and remediation, application release management and reporting. In addition, Arsys will automate key ITIL processes using BladeLogic Orchestration Manager™, a software solution that provides process automation using workflow and data integration with other best-of-breed systems management software tools. By implementing BladeLogic’s data centre automation solutions, Arsys can better manage, control and enforce configuration changes to its server and application environments, resulting in a data centre that is more efficient, cost effective and exceeds the expectations of its customers.

“In evaluating data centre automation solutions, we conducted a deep and rigorous technical analysis using real-life data from our server environment. We selected BladeLogic because it was the only automation vendor able to complete all of our technical requirements, and in just five days,” said Manuel Amutio, Chief Information Officer, Arsys. “Our technical team was extremely impressed with BladeLogic’s technology, particularly in terms of the solution’s level of granularity, flexibility and power. BladeLogic will allow us to manage our server and application environments more efficiently, remain in compliance with the ITIL standards we have implemented and integrate all of the software solutions in our data centre without major process changes.”

“One of the reasons why Arsys has remained at the forefront of the web hosting industry in Europe is its commitment to developing and providing innovative technology-based solutions to better serve its hosting customers,” said Luca Lazzaron, Vice President, EMEA, BladeLogic. “By selecting BladeLogic, Arsys can automate and integrate all of its data centre processes using a single solution. The end result will be a much more responsive and cost effective data centre, and more importantly, a richer experience for customers using Arsys’ hosting solutions.”
