Stratavia’s flagship IT automation software was called Data Palette. Data Palette focused on automating the full lifecycle of applications and database systems, including patch management, compliance reporting, and capturing configuration settings. Data Palette capabilities were also useful in configuring and operating servers in the enterprise private cloud, where business users provision their own servers and applications. Common use cases for the technology include private cloud enablement, self service request management and rule-based asset life-cycle automation.
HP Software Division planned to integrate Stratavia technology into its cloud computing portfolio, including HP Cloud Service Automation Software.
