Rob Hirschfeld, CEO and Co-Founder of RackN, created a new Digital Rebar Provision (DRP) video highlighting the creation of virtual machines within the standard automation process.

Highlights include:

Create a New Virtual Machine from the Physical Provisioning Tool – DRP
VirtualBox IMPI Plugin – Preview of Pre-Release Tool
RackN Portal will inventory virtual machines available on network for management
Packet IMPI Plugin – enable creation of VMs on Packet cloud hardware

This expansion to virtual machines allows DRP users to not only provision physical infrastructure but virtual as well both locally and in clouds.
