Accomplishments
Patents: . WO2017138967A1.pdf
Stateless Volumisation – To provision the “Baremetal” servers under a minute. The volumes are constructed using the kickstart files using QEMU emulator in QCOW2 format (thin format with small boot print) and pushed to the web server to store them permanently. These images are pushed to servers using the PXE technology and convert them to raw format in memory which is independent of hypervisors and dumped to servers HDD or SSD or iSCSI or Fibre Channel storage and reboot the server and the Baremetal servers will have the required OS.
