Security license for your data center

Independent solution for automated shutdown and startup of complex data center environments

Error-free shutdown according to script

In our symbolic image, two servers with docked storage, two switches, and two UPSs are controlled by VMShutdownManager, which runs on a management server.

In this example configuration, both spontaneous and planned shutdowns can be carried out with military precision and without data loss.

VMShutdownManager & VMS small Appliance

Our solution allows you to shut down all components of complex data center infrastructures intelligently and automatically. Once power is restored, the semi-automated restart ensures a smooth and rapid start-up of the data center. This technology has already helped numerous companies prevent downtime, process errors, and data loss.

VMShutdownManager takes the fear out of power failures

After a power outage, the IT system crashed and sales came to a standstill for the entire day.

We documented this horror scenario for you in a case study about RIWOTEC GmbH and outlined our solution.
