Prior to Egenera, he spent 11 years as chief technology officer for the financial firm Goldman Sachs Group in New York. Under Mr. Brownell's leadership, Egenera pioneered the Processing Area Network (PAN) which is designed to virtualize and interconnect computing, storage and network resources, creating shared pools that can be centrally managed. Mr. Brownell conceived of the idea for PAN based on his experiences with growing data center complexity at Goldman Sachs. The company launched its first product, the Egenera BladeFrame, in October, 2001. BladeFrame is a combination of bladed servers, fabric backplane, firmware and management software. In October, 2006, Egenera announced its plan to create a separate line of business in order to make its virtualization management software, called PAN Manager, available under OEM agreement to other server vendors. In December, 2012, Egenera acquired Fort Technologies who was a developer of cloud management software. That software was integrated with Egenera PAN Manager and PAN Domain Manager and became PAN Cloud Director.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Egenera PAN Cloud Director )〕 The three products combined are the Egenera Cloud Suite.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Egenera Cloud Suite )〕 Egenera has received numerous patents for its technology, including the Processing Area Network, N+1 disaster recovery and virtualized server failover technology.〔 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Egenera」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
