Platform Enterprise Grid Orchestrator

Platform Enterprise Grid Orchestrator (Platform EGO)

Enterprise IT agility – a key competitive advantage

Inefficient data centers are a key concern for organizations. The massive sprawl of underutilized IT assets, and static IT infrastructures unable to cope with dynamic changes in businesses needs, are the problem. The solution is dynamic resource management. Platform EGO is the highly scalable foundation technology that enables optimal, effective, dynamic, policy-based IT resource sharing and allocation that supports changing business priorities.

Benefits of Platform EGO

  • Deliver IT resources faster
  • Enable higher utilization of resources
  • Achieve service levels at lowest possible cost
  • Reduce data center administration and infrastructure costs
  • Optimize cloud computing infrastructure

You should consider Platform EGO if you want to:

  • Share resources across the organization unobtrusively and without loss of control
  • Require a technology that removes the uncertainties inherent in resource sharing

Selected facts about Platform EGO

  • Unique non-intrusive resource sharing. Enables IT to expand and shrink application silo ‘walls’ across business units so application owners can share resources without ceding control over resources or budgets.
  • Consumer and resource policy-based management. Sharing policies control how resources are allocated among participating application owners. Resource sharing plans define policies and priorities on when and how much each consumer owns, lends or borrows.
  • Extensive, open standards-based architecture. A simple, lightweight, scalable and highly extensible model for dynamic resource management built on open standards and architectures. 
  • Platform EGO Developer Edition. Tools to easily develop applications adapted to a dynamic data center.
  • Scalable, production-proven solution. Platform EGO is the culmination of almost two decades of experience in managing complex production data centers. It is leveraged by Platform LSF and Platform Symphony, and Platform VMO and is an essential component of SAS Grid Manager.
