“Manage resources, not boxes.”

Legacy production servers ship with a baseboard management controller (BMC) for out-of-band management. This lowest-level approach to operating racked IT keeps enterprises tied to the physical realities and limitations of hardware, and distracts from the central problem of resource management. SoftIron’s Virtual Resource Backplane (ViRB) enables resource management across the fleet, thus realizing the promise of true, stateless hardware. In the cloud, you don’t manage individual servers; nor should you do so in the enterprise. SoftIron empowers you with cloud abstractions, irrespective of your deployment model.
