Jan 13, 2006 : Carphone Warehouse Picks BladeLogic

📅 January 13, 2006 - Data center automation software developer BladeLogic (bladelogic.com) said this week that it added European mobile communications retailer The Carphone Warehouse as a new customer.

BladeLogic will deploy its Operations Manager platform to manage Carphone Warehouse's server and application infrastructure. The solution will replace many manual management processes.

BaldeLogic's technology will enable discovery and detailed inventory of servers and applications, provisioning of the OS and the entire software stack, deployment of application updates and the continuous compliance of server configurations to corporate policies.

The company says the deployment will increase productivity, scale its operations and reduce downtime.

"Managing change to our servers and applications is critical to the success of our business but, based on personal experience, is not an easy challenge to address," says Simon Post, CTO for The Carphone Warehouse. "We initiated a very thorough evaluation of all available data center automation solutions, and after a thorough analysis, selected BladeLogic."
