Hi folks, I'm not sure what to search around for, so I'd like to start my investigations here at SLUG.
Is any one aware of software (pref. OSS - but if it has to be commercial) that can be used to manage a group of appliance like servers. I'll explain more. I'm looking to build what will effectively be cost-effective 2nd-tier appliance, LAMP-stack type servers to enable bus. dept.s to have fast stand-alone solutions built without having to include them in the enterprise Websphere environment and its associated costs. The thinking at the moment is running along the lines of possibly having a cut-down cPanel (or the like) to administer each box separately. But would also want some type of software that could be used to administer each separate server ... effectively as a group ... from within a single UI. Whether that has an agent installed on each 'client' server or how it is configured, I don't know yet. But, have to start somewhere. Can anyone help please?
