ScaleXtreme is a cloud-based systems management product that provides comprehensive automated administration of your IT infrastructure as a hosted service via any compatible device. Sometimes referred to as "datacenter automation" or "configuration management," the product's primary goal is to help you automate routine IT processes across your servers, increasing your organization's efficiency and productivity, while eliminating unanticipated errors and problems from your system updates.

ScaleXtreme provides these powerful system management features:
ScaleXtreme lets you bring all of your servers (physical and virtual) -- across multiple public and private clouds -- into a single unified management framework, where you can perform a wide variety of powerful automated system management activities. With ScaleXtreme's Clouds feature, you can add multiple public cloud provider accounts at Amazon, Rackspace, and Bluelock, right alongside private clouds built on OpenStack, VMWare's vCloud, and Citrix CloudStack. Then, launch any number of Linux and/or Windows instances on those accounts; schedule automated recurring jobs (e.g., backups, log rotations, updates, stack installations, etc.); launch server templates that deploy pre-configured instances (with application stacks already on board) across unlimited machines and clouds; and much more, all from a single convenient window.

The Manage tab gives you full-lifecycle control over all physical, virtual, and cloud-based servers linked to your ScaleXtreme account. In Manage you can organize servers into easy-to-access Server Groups; view detailed server information, and browse filesystem and manage files in real time:

The Manage tab also gives you access to detailed server information, automate critical patch and update management, get detailed info on all installed Linux packages, run pre-selected customized commands with a single click; or run commands manually via our convenient browser-based command shell:

And the Manage tab lets you monitor key system performance metrics with interactive color graphs that show detailed views of CPU, Memory, Disk, Network and Processes over time -- daily, monthly yearly:

You can create, edit, and automate recurring runs of your own customized scripts via ScaleXtreme's Script Library; or download essential scripts published by our growing community in the ScaleXtreme App Store.

ScaleXtreme's Operations tab gives you full oversight and control of the automated scripted routines you have launched via the Script Library. Use the Operations tab to check job status and run history; and cancel, modify, and relaunch automated jobs as needed:

ScaleXtreme is available in two editions: ScaleXtreme Xpress is a free edition. It is tailored for small companies with fewer servers to manage; or anyone interested in testing cloud-based systems management. ScaleXtreme Xpert edition is our professional-level subscription service. It lets you manage unlimited numbers of servers across multiple clouds and provides the system control features needed to manage large-scale production environments.
