The Aegir hosting system allows developers and site administrators to automate many of the common tasks associated with deploying and managing large websites. Aegir makes it easy to install, upgrade, deploy, and backup an entire network of Drupal sites.
The most up to date information regarding the project and its goals can be found on the Aegir website and the documentation pages:

This is the backend of the Aegir hosting system. The front end (hostmaster) and the backend (provision) are designed to be run separately, and each front end is able to drive multiple back ends. Aegir can install itself with the software you have already downloaded alongside this readme file.
