Crowbar is an Open Source platform for server provisioning and deployment from bare metal. It provides server discovery, firmware upgrades, and operating system installation using PXE Boot. It deploys applications on top of functioning operating systems using chef.
Crowbar was developed by the [Dell CloudEdge Solutions Team] (http://dell.com/openstack) as an OpenStack installer, but has evolved as a much broader orchestration tool.
