Arsys Selects BladeLogic for Comprehensive Data Centre Management

BladeLogic, Inc., a provider of leading next-generation data
centre automation software, today announced that 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(TM), 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."
