HCT Adopts SWsoft’s PEM Data Center Automation
Solution [January 26, 2005]
New
Solution Enables Web and Application Services Model
for HCT’s 13 Distributed Locations
Herndon,
VA — January 26, 2005 – Today, SWsoft, the
established leader in hosting automation and server
virtualization software, announced the selection of
PEM by the Higher Colleges of Technology (HCT), one
of the largest, most progressive and innovative places
of higher learning in the United Arab Emirates. HCT
will integrate SWsoft’s PEM to provide comprehensive
data center automation and remote access for its more
than 15,000 students and faculty distributed across
13 facilities.
“We
have a unique need to support our highly dynamic and
heterogeneous network dispersed across six states supporting
a large and growing number of active users,” said
Mohammed Ghanawi, Computer Operations Supervisor, HCT.
“PEM is the only hosting automation solution that
is flexible enough to support our needs to deploy and
manage advanced hosting capabilities. Now, when we need
to distribute a new hosting option or service, we can
rely on PEM to deploy it quickly and without the need
to adjust our existing infrastructure.”
With
13 locations throughout the United Arab Emirates, HCT
is a leader in education and training. HCT’s teaching
staff – professional educators who are at the
forefront of their subject areas – and its innovative
project-driven and student-based curriculum have raised
standards for its graduates.
“HCT
illustrates yet another proven automation scenario that
PEM can support,” said Serguei Beloussov, CEO
and president, SWsoft. “Our distributed approach
is ideal for managing Web and application services without
scalability or flexibility limits. Large service providers,
Telcos, ISPs and registrars are realizing the clear
value proposition and ROI of PEM.”
PEM
for Virtually Any Service Offering
PEM Operations Support System (OSS) and Business Support
System (BSS) is a 3rd generation, distributed, modular,
multi-tier data center automation platform that is scalable
to millions of customer accounts, customizable on all
levels, extendable with custom modules and easily integrated
into a customer's existing infrastructure.
PEM
OSS provides centralized resource management, service
provisioning and infrastructure management. The BSS
components of PEM perform multi-tier resource usage
accounting and billing. The OSS and BSS solutions are
designed to be interoperable and tightly integrated
but can be deployed and used independently.
The
benefits of leveraging PEM OSS/BSS include lower cost
and complexity, faster time-to-market with new offerings,
and the ability to more effectively attract, upsell
and retain customers.
