No, this isn’t about futures – this is an announcement about Cassatt’s currently available product. I think this product announcement, plus our new Active Profiling Service, and your story are *all* news, in fact. They all point to the fact that there is a change going on — there is a new way to run a data center. That’s the interesting bit. Whether it’s policy-based automation like Cassatt provides or something lower level, in the end it comes down to this: the static, inefficient way data center resources have been managed is not the way they need to be handled from now on. It doesn’t make sense any more. And what Cassatt’s doing is giving customers a simple, incremental way to move from here to there, starting with delivering a baseline + recommendations about out what the stuff in their data centers is actually doing and what steps they can take to improve.

Why is this release "news"? This announcement appears to be about an upcoming product... but 24 hours prior, Scalent Systems, Red Hat, and NetApp announced a -deployed- large enterprise cloud at Blackboard. http://www.scalent.com/html/company/News/company_news_111108_blackboard.htm Seems to me that customers are already deploying Scalent V/OE to do what Cassatt is only now proposing, no?
