controlButler is a command and control powerhouse. No single point of failure with a failover mate. Full internal oracle database to capture metadata, fully actionable by the agent. Agent's that run on any operating system. Your legacy server and batch scheduling control problems are solved. Everything controlled by a browser front end, you never sign on to the box or worry about support other than what is provided through the GUI front end. Working in the field for over 3 years for some of the toughest IT customers in the world. Additionally, controlButler is the only product in the industry designed to control a GRID compute and storage architecture. controlButler is a pre-installed control appliance which is designed to control your compute and storage grids, composed of commodity servers. But nearly all of the tasks also work with your current legacy system servers! (except the bare metal recovery designed for linux).

Move, monitor, schedule, backup, re-provision, maintain, and manage with the same enterprise strength appliance designed for your future GRID architecture. We know you have a GRID in your future because you can't deny the commodity wave and it's 10 to 1 performance ratios over every proprietary system vendor in the market today.

controlButler relies on the best new technologies including Linux, Intel, Serial ATA drives, iSCSI, RAID cards and commodity certified components to allow your corporation to utilize a commodity GRID which is extremely powerful, more scalable, yet priced appropriately for today's economy. Additionally, via the use of built-in iSCSI, controlButler's may be clustered together for industry-best high availability requirements providing you with a robust, powerful and highly available control architecture for a fraction of the costs of traditional vendor solutions.

Xeon Hyperthreading in our Linux Kernel configurations show as twice the physical processors with an additional minimum 50% processor throughput.

controlButler's are expandable and are easily integrated with BackupButler and SANButler appliances to form a completely protected, high performance, cost-effective data center. Add the controlButler for your nascent commodity GRID control and you have the beginnings of a pure commodity GRID, utilizing pure commodity components at 10 to 1 price performance ratios.

We are specialists of architectures delivering the Lintel Enterprise promise.
