Media Giant Selects Opsware for IT Operations

00:00:00 - 05 October 2004

Opsware Inc. (www.opsware.com) announced that a major, New York based media company has selected Opsware software to automate and centralize operations. Opsware will be used across their IT organization to automate a large number of servers and applications spanning multiple data centers.

"HP has a long standing relationship with Opsware's latest media customer, and we understand their need to deliver high-quality, high-uptime services to their end users," said Joachim Frank, vice president of HP's Consulting and Integration organization. "We believe Opsware is the right solution to meet their IT automation and disaster recovery needs."

A leading media company with 2003 revenues of over $3 billion was looking for a solution to standardize management of servers and applications and reduce the costs of ongoing operations.

The deal came with the assistance of HP Services, with which Opsware established a partnership in June 2003.

The customer's requirements included the ability to automate the full server and application lifecycle, and the ability to rapidly recover from server and application failures in the event of a disaster.

Using Opsware, the customer will be able to automate the full server lifecycle, maintain consistency across server profiles, centralize software and patch delivery, enforce change management and security policy guidelines, and reduce resources required to provision new servers.

In addition, Opsware's Multimaster technology will be used to keep multiple data centers continuously synchronized, so servers can be quickly re-built and applications can immediately be made available to end users in the event of a disaster.

Opsware Inc. is the world's leading IT automation and utility computing software company. The growth of the Internet is driving a shift from client/server computing to Web architecture. With this shift comes an overwhelming proliferation of servers and applications, creating massive complexity that makes an automated IT model a necessity.
