lifecycle becomes increasingly apparent. A server could see many re-provisions applied to it in its lifetime. Once

provisioned, organizations must continuously monitor and manage the infrastructure to ensure that systems are

running at desired levels.

Managing each step of the infrastructure lifecycle is challenging for even the most sophisticated IT organizations. Sun N1

System Manager helps

customers address these problems with its new infrastructure lifecycle management

software.

Designed specifically to address the problems associated with managing infrastructure throughout its lifecycle, N1

System Manager helps customers provision, monitor, and manage Sun x64 servers. N1 System Manager will expand in breadth of HW coverage over

time to encompass current and future Sun systems.

Sun N1 System Manager enables the provisioning, monitoring, patching and management of hundreds of Sun's AMD Opteron based x64 servers.

Management tasks are executed through a hybrid UI that integrates the GUI and CLI in one console. The ability to create logical groups of systems

and perform actions across a group of systems as easily as performing actions on a single system is possible with N1 System Manager. Additionally,

a central console is provided to rapidly deploy Solaris or Red Hat Linux to multiple Sun x64 servers.

The key features of the Sun N1 System Manager software are:

• Bare metal discovery

• Grouping

• Bare metal provisioning

• Hardware monitoring

• OS provisioning
