Someone to watch over me

Cloud based data management

Hard on the heels of announcements by Macquarie Telecom that it is expanding its footprint in the cloud computing market and building a new data centre, BMC has announced that Mac Tel will use its tools for infrastructure management.

In a deal worth $A1.2 million, Macquarie Telecom will buy BMC’s BladeLogic server automation and network automation tools, as well as its Atrium Orchestrator solution.

The systems will be used to manage the thousands of servers and devices serving 300 companies and more than a million end users from the Mac Tel data centres. ®

Thousands of servers????

They only manage hundreds of pysical machines not thousands. If you included all the virtual machines you might get to one thousand, but even then their top 5 customers on VMWare would only have 150 VM's between them.
