Egenera® systems are highly available, flexible platforms that eliminate the need to dedicate servers to applications. Instead, a data center virtualization architecture, which replaces physical components with software, can automatically repurpose and reallocate servers on demand. Virtualization means that servers can be easily shared, enabling enterprises to slash server count and reduce data center complexity by up to 80 percent.

The Egenera Processing Area Network (PAN) architecture enables data center virtualization. The PAN combines diskless, stateless blade servers with a high-speed switch fabric and unique virtualization software that can dynamically allocate servers to applications as needed.
