How It Works
iDNA utilizes the latest Microsoft server virtualization technologies to create a desktop, server and application hosting platform that dynamically scales and grows as you need.
Pay for the resources you use now and eliminate the need to purchase extra storage, licenses, processing power and more in anticipation of future growth.
Our platform is a combination of automation, control, and resource management software with a well-defined topology of servers, storage, and networking hardware.
In iDNA, all resources, such as servers, networks, and storage, are provisioned and allocated using automated workflows. The monitoring of these resources is performed by management appliances continuously. The monitoring appliances can provide rule-based actions to deal with exceptions or generate alerts to attract operator attention

- Tracking performance counters to measure and optimize use of systems
- Generating notifications based on predefined rules for events or counters
- Configuration management:
- Tracking hardware assets and software licenses (and configuration items in environment)
- Management of software updates (by customized update schedules)
- Defining and using desired configurations for servers
- Generating reports of installed software, updates, pending actions, and so on

- Security:
- Server-level security to isolate and contain customers within their own virtual servers and prevent access to other virtual servers running on the same hosts
- Network-level security to provide isolation and protection of networks from attacks triggered from within a guest by a malicious user.
- Increasing availability to end customers:
- Creation of a clustered environment to host virtual servers (including use of shared storage to support clustered servers)
- Ability to gracefully failover a guest server to a new physical server
- Ability to upgrade physical servers by forcing a move of guests virtual machines (VMs) to another server
