DynaCenter is the next generation server imaging and rapid provisioning tool that simplifies and automates a wide variety of tasks within the data center, from simple system deployments to large-scale disaster recovery. Based upon Racemi's patented (U.S. 7,213,065) Dynamic Server Allocation (DSA) technology, DynaCenter captures a server image so that you can easily restore it when needed, deploy or move it to another server, or clone it to multiple servers for rapid scale-out. DynaCenter is the only server imaging technology that can move an image to dissimilar hardware, supports all major server platforms, and can automate the configuration of the network and storage infrastructures surrounding the server to give you true application mobility.
DynaCenter was designed to work in your complex IT environment. It provides a powerful deployment profile feature that you can use to automatically modify an image's configuration on-the-fly for deployment into different environments. For example, when used for disaster recovery, you can use a “test” profile to change the network and storage connections of your servers so that you can perform a live recovery test without interrupting your production servers. DynaCenter also supports your complex mix of physical and virtual resources, with the ability to freely move an image between physical and virtual environments.

Image Deployment Scenarios:
- P2P – Physical Server to Physical Server
i.e. hardware refresh, failover to dissimilar hardware - P2V – Physical Server to Virtual Server
i.e. migrate to VMs, decrease the cost of DR - V2P – Virtual Server to Physical Server
i.e. scale out to real hardware as your production increases - V2V – Virtual Server to Virtual Server
i.e. have the ability to move between virtualization vendors
Platform Coverage: Windows, Linux, UNIX.
Storage Environments: All Native Volume Managers, DAS, SAN (FC and iSCSI), NAS.
