Specifically, AIM provides IT professionals the ability to: • Combine new and existing networking, storage devices, and servers into a holistic computing solution that enables dynamic allocation of resources to meet application workload requirements. • Manage physical and virtual resources with a single solution that includes the ability to move workloads seamlessly across hardware platforms for increased availability and scalability. • Provide virtualization-like functionality to non-virtual (physical) servers, including automated failover, dynamic load balancing, and business continuity. • Integrate existing infrastructure (networking, storage devices, and servers) into an AIM solution to provide investment protection and extend the useful life of existing data center assets. • Significantly decrease the amount of time and people required to deploy hardware and get applications up and running by providing a repeatable, scalable framework for hardware implementation using AIM.
