The new functionality empowers IT and DevOps teams to intelligently automate the preparation and deployment of customized images to any machine connected to a network from a single unified and user-friendly interface.
Seattle, WA - July 18, 2024 - Today,
RAVEL Inc (formerly StratusCore) introduced RAVEL Orchestrate’s powerful new “Bare Metal Build Station” functionality, which empowers IT and DevOps teams in SMBs or enterprises to intelligently prepare and deploy customized images to any physical machine connected to a network. Bare Metal Build Station is the only software-based, hardware-agnostic solution on the market that provides this functionality within a unified and user-friendly interface.
RAVEL’s new Bare Metal Build Station complements the product’s existing software-defined infrastructure (SDI) capabilities, which is an approach to managing IT infrastructure (compute, networking, and storage) via software. RAVEL’s Bare Metal Build Station helps companies manage large, diverse hardware infrastructures by automating the management and deployment of tailored OS, software, drivers, fonts, and other necessary files and configurations, saving companies time as they scale or modify their operations.
“We could not be more thrilled about this new functionality,” said Denise Muyco, CEO of RAVEL. “For so long, the deployment of software across bare metal in any enterprise has been a time-consuming, manual process. With Bare Metal Build Station, that ends. Our easy-to-use solution saves a tremendous amount of time, reduces errors, and enables teams to deploy images how they want, when they want, and on any infrastructure. Additionally, Bare Metal Build Station is the perfect complement to RAVEL Orchestrate's existing AWS and Azure cloud-based Build Station, providing a comprehensive and versatile deployment solution across different environments.”
Highlights:
Unified Interface: From a single interface, Bare Metal Build Station allows users to easily create and customize local Virtual Machine Images or “Build Candidates” to include a tailored OS, software, drivers, fonts, and other necessary files and configurations.
Seamless Transformation: Bare Metal Build Station facilitates the export and transformation of Build Candidates into hardware-compatible, bootable images, ensuring seamless deployment without compatibility issues.
Automated Distribution: Bare Metal Build Station automatically configures distribution based on the infrastructure information, and controls the deployment of images to physical machines, eliminating manual setup.
Intelligent Error Trapping: Bare Metal Build Station’s built-in error trapping capabilities ensure that compatibility errors are caught during setup and options for resolution are provided.
Scheduled Deployment: Together with RAVEL Orchestrate’s “Scheduler”, Bare Metal Build Station broadcasts bootable images to compatible machines at scheduled times. The images are then automatically installed, ensuring on-time, precise deployment to any number of machines while optimizing network usage.
