Phurnace Deliver™ can be leveraged to support virtualization initiatives. Our configuration management software enables system administrators to take a "snapshot" of an application environment and instantly build an identical environment on a virtual image, including the configuration settings and the application itself.

With Phurnace Deliver, all of the required settings are made to the web application server, in the correct order. This isn’t possible by using file copy, mirroring an environment or using provisioning tools. Phurnace Deliver provides "java application installer" capabilities, which is required for applications to be set up correctly, even in a virtual image.

Phurnace Deliver can dynamically remove applications from a server or cluster to free up resources for more critical applications and later restore them online after the peak load time has passed. This can be fully automated, therefore dramatically reducing the time spent and potential headaches for systems administrators.
