摘要

System and method enabling creating a server environment in real or near-real time. Major elements of the system include a provisioning engine that controls server chassis coupled to frontend network and backend network. The frontend network enable connection of any server to the Internet or Intranet through a firewall and IDS security systems. The backend network couples specific servers to specific storage resources of a network storage.
