Industry's needs are neither those of the financial sector nor those of public institutions. According to their activities, organizations have to face different challenges and therefore they need a reliable partner able to understand their specific needs. But all of them are equally looking for performance, availability and security. In a period of increased competition, companies need to rely on a partner who can both tailor solutions to their specific requirements and put at their disposal state-of-the-art technologies that will make the difference and help them staying ahead of the competition.

Bentsol has built up an extensive expertise to offer the architecture that will best meet the customer's requirements. Our solutions are based on Unix and Intel-based servers and are the result of a close collaboration with the customer and the applications providers.

Bentsol is able to give an answer both global and tailored to its customers’ needs thanks to its sales and Engineering force structure combining the overall vision in the customer core business and the thorough technical knowledge of sales consultants who offer their expertise as system architects and are responsible for a close technology watch.

Processor Area Network (PAN)

Processor Area Network (PAN) is the next milestone towards dynamic Data Center strategy to drive business-responsive IT using the latest virtualization and automation technologies. PAN is a one core component to the new offering, providing a new level of intelligence and virtualization including the dynamic provisioning and management of both physical and virtual resources.

PAN brings the industry first application-agnostic service oriented infrastructure to the market. It is a key technology, whose combination provides customers with proven infrastructure agility, high availability and cost savings.

Processing Area Network (PAN) architecture combines stateless, diskless processing blades with unique virtualization software to dramatically reduce data center complexity and deliver an agile, highly-available infrastructure. PAN replaces hardware infrastructure with software and eliminates manual, resource-intensive systems administration tasks through integrated automation.

Rather than tie specific operating systems and applications to a server, PAN creates pools of compute, storage and network resources that can be dynamically allocated as needed. In conjunction with the system, PAN delivers a fully virtualized computing infrastructure in an integrated, highly-available system.

In contrast, legacy server vendors are announcing virtualized "piece parts" that require significant investment in services, management tools and time to optimize, and which exacerbate the data center complexity crisis brought on by layers of new technology billed as the next "fix all." PAN architecture dramatically reduces data center complexity, speeds infrastructure time-to-production and reduces operational expenses by up to 70 percent.

Key Benefits:

PAN replaces hardware components found within traditional servers with software, as well as much of the connecting "glue" that typically connects servers to other data center components (such as networks, storage and management), and significantly reduces the amount of switching infrastructure within the data center itself.

Servers are no longer physical devices with a specific hardware configuration—operating system, application, revision level, etc. but software-based "assets" that can be dynamically applied to computing resources (processors and memory) as needed. As a consequence, these computing resources can be used much more efficiently, capital and operational expenses are reduced, and servers can be provisioned and re-purposed in minutes rather than weeks or longer.

Virtualizing infrastructure is just the start. The extended value of PAN comes from the services provided on top of the data center virtualization architecture. These include:

Provisioning and management:

N+1 High Availability:
Automatic server failover
Application clustering

N+1 Disaster Recovery:
Cost-effective, full system failover
Resource logging/chargeback

Security services:
Secure partitioning
Multi-frame management
Multi-frame N+1 high-availability
Administrative roles and privileges
