Using Scalent software, you can transition your data center between different configurations or from bare metal to live, connected servers in five minutes or less without physical intervention or infrastructure changes. This flexibility is possible because Scalent software dynamically controls not only what software stacks are running on every server, but also each server's associated network (LAN / WAN) connectivity, storage (SAN / NAS) access, and power state.
