Key features of FastScale Stack Manager Workgroup Edition include:

Software Repository:
Centralizes version management, tracking, traceability, and reproducibility of all software assets including operating systems, applications, configuration files, patches, logical server specifications, roles, permissions, scripts, metadata, and logs.

Application Blueprint:
Automatically identifies the precise operating system dependencies of an application without manual effort. Any given application only uses a small subset of a general purpose operating system, and the Application Blueprint calculates those dependencies automatically in seconds.

Intelligent Stack Editor:
Provides a graphical dashboard for easy configuration and customization of optimized logical servers, including complex multi-tiered applications. Files, directories and packages are easily added or deleted, and dynamic size calculations are visible as logical servers are defined and customized.

Robust Configuration Settings:
Enables policy-based, hierarchical configuration settings to be applied to logical servers or groups of logical servers to customize network information, security policies, environment variables, application configuration files, enable shell scripts, and more. A complete version history is maintained in the software repository.

Flexible Deployment Formats:
Allow logical servers to be output in VMDK, AMI or disk image formats, on-demand, for deployment to VMware Infrastructure, the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud, or bare metal servers.
