What is Aegir?
- Aegir is built by a community of system administrators and developers who share Drupal deployment tools, strategies and best practices, instead of continuing to write our own little shell scripts.
- Aegir allows you to deploy and manage many Drupal sites, and can scale across multiple server clusters. Aegir makes it easy to install, upgrade, and backup an entire network of Drupal sites.
- Aegir is fully extensible, since it's built on Drupal and Drush, and supports many add-ons through contributed extensions.
- A lot more according to Wikipedia
