- Deployment. Modern applications, particularly big data services and containers, can be a struggle to deploy and manage. Mesosphere Enterprise DC/OS simplifies the deployment process for applications like Apache Spark and Apache Cassandra to almost a single command line.
- Management. This can also consume valuable IT resources, but Mesosphere DC/OS makes a myriad of disparate applications and systems look like a single pane of glass. Not to mention, the wonderful ability to pool compute resources and consolidate those disparate applications on a smaller set of servers consuming less electricity. Of course, the ability to manage all those applications both inside private data centers as well as in a public cloud makes migrating containers a seamless operation.
- Scale. Scaling out and adding more compute resources is also simplified through Mesosphere DC/OS. Leveraging the same simplified deployment process, DC/OS adds new applications and resources smoothly and simply.
- Self-healing Infrastructure. Finally, as data centers begin using servers more like cattle and less like pets, DC/OS has fail-over capabilities that get the applications up and running again quickly in case of node or workload failure.
