Moab Adaptive Computing Suite™ delivers infrastructure intelligence that enables data center and private and public cloud environments to adapt to changing business needs in real time.

Moab works with your preferred virtualization technologies to create an adaptive operating environment that will—

• Improve data-center server utilization by an average of up to 5X
• Reduce energy costs by up to 25%
• Improve SLA levels and flexibly apply resources to the application services most critical to an organization's success
• Intelligently automate an organization's existing or preferred hardware, middleware, and virtualization investments
• Support heterogeneous platforms and multiple simultaneous operating-system environments
• Deliver intelligent policy-based governance for data centers, combining both physical and virtual machine environments

Moab Adaptive Computing Suite™ enables intelligent orchestration of an end-to-end next-generation data center or cloud computing environment at the project, data center, or cloud level.

Organizations can significantly reduce cost and complexity by managing a consolidated and virtualized computing infrastructure rather than continuing to manage applications, projects, and organizational resource requirements using separate siloed environments.

Although consolidation and virtualization initiatives can improve resource utilization from 10% to 50%, conflicting resource requests for application services, the need to balance organizational priorities, and ownership issues inhibit further efficiency improvements.

Moab Adaptive Computing Suite™ delivers infrastructure intelligence that considers resource requests, SLA requirements, ownership rights, and full workflow-driven decision criteria and then orchestrates the underlying computing environment to optimally adapt to the organization's business needs in real time.
The intelligent automation provided by Moab Adaptive Computing Suite™—

• Improves effective server utilization by 20% to 40% in virtual environments.
• Reduces energy consumption by up to 25% through intelligent workload-aware power management and temperature-aware workload balancing.
• Improves SLA delivery and resource ownership accountability by applying rich controls over application service priorities and by growing and shrinking resource allocations that are dedicated to an application, user, or project.
• Flexibly aligns resources in real time with organization-critical initiatives
• Improves business continuity through intelligent resource– and incident-management workflows to handle both surges in demand and compute environment failures.

The Moab Adaptive Computing Suite™ architecture, with the Moab intelligence engine at its core, automates the collection of information from across the computing environment; applies business policies; and then orchestrates, adapts, and optimizes the unified environment using a number of critical services, including—

• Application workload requirements
• Hardware resource type, availability, and state
• Service-level agreements
• Policies
• Event and workflow status and requirements
• Provisioning and virtualization orchestration and status

The Moab Adaptive Computing Suite™ adapts the data-center or cloud environment in real time to achieve SLAs and business objectives while meeting the demands of application services, responding to resource availability, and enforcing defined policies. Moab's modular interface-based architecture is additive in nature, so it layers on top of organizations' existing investments in hardware, middleware, and virtualization technologies.

Moab supports multiple heterogeneous environments with translation facilities that are able to utilize one set of interfaces to take actions in one part of the environment and a separate set of interfaces to manage another portion of the environment while maintaining the option of orchestrating the entire environment under a single unified set of business rules.

As organizations acquire new data center components as the result of either planned purchases or organizational mergers and alliances, the Moab Adaptive Computing Suite™ easily integrates those new components into the overall infrastructure.

Moab Adaptive Computing Suite™ interfaces with existing process- and service-management technologies to intelligently orchestrate capabilities that enable real–time adaptation of an organization's computing infrastructure.

Workload-, hardware-, and policy-aware capabilities include–

• Unification of workload, hardware, usage, and policy information for decision making
• Orchestration of the creation of end-to-end virtual and physical environments in minutes rather than hours or days (including server, network, storage, and license allocation and dynamic configuration)
• Avoidance of error-prone manual infrastructure changes with automation and error handling
• User, project, departmental, and organizational SLA monitoring
• Application SLA monitoring (internal and external methods)
• Automatic resource scaling to match user, application, project, and organizational needs
• Business continuity automation
• Usage-based accounting
• Workflow and process management
• Workload management
• Data migration

Mixed Vendor Adaptive Computing Environment

Proven in the world's largest computing installations, the modular architecture of the Moab Adaptive Computing Suite™ is uniquely suitable for next-generation data center and cloud installations.

The intelligent policy-based governance delivered by the Moab Adaptive Computing Suite™ integrates with both existing infrastructure and future infrastructure investments, whether planned or resulting from corporate mergers and acquisitions. Adaptive Computing™ works with the world's leading data center vendors to build integrated, adaptive data center solutions that incorporate best-in-class infrastructure and middleware products in a unified, vendor-agnostic environment.
