Virtualization and Cloud Management Solutions

The Power to Change

Improved IT eficiency

IT has become more eficient by virtualizing compute, storage and networking of traditional infrastructure.

Driving IT transformation : Agility

According to a Gartner Data Center Poll on Private Cloud Computing Drivers, 58% of respondents indicate agility and speed as the most important driver in moving to private clouds.

Driving IT transformation : Cloud automation

IT e‰ciency is continually improving at a rapid rate, specifically in the following areas:

1. Optimized Resource Utilization Automated workflows allow for resources to easily and e ‰ciently be maximized.

2. Accelerated Service Delivery Virtualization cuts delivery time even further, from days down to minutes.

4. Improved Operational E‰ciency With automated resource reclamation, new resources are delivered quickly, boosting productivity and reducing lengthy tasks.

Driving IT transformation : Self-service cloud

A customized self-service approach enables faster delivery times and allows IT executives to maintain control over the cloud experience.

Cloud technologies driving operational change

New data from the VMware 2013 CloudOps Transformation Benchmark Survey revealed that automation is the #1 most substantially impactful transformation for IT.

Automating cloud management

Automation enables IT to:

Accelerate service delivery times

Improve operational e ‰ciency

Ease deployment and management

Reduce cost

Optimize resource utilization

Reduce cost

Private cloud cost savings are much easier to quantify.

Improvements in IT e‰ciency are the foundation for the enhancements in agility and speed necessary to improve productivity and address new business opportunities.

Improve operational e ciency

Hybrid environments

Cloud automation should support both private and hybrid clouds, optimizing horizontal and vertical scaling.

Optimize resource utilization

Reduce overprovisioning

Most companies assume a percentage of their resources will be wasted because the costs to control and reclaim manually is greater than the savings.

However, it can account for between 15 to 25% of company resources.

Leverage tiered service levels

Reclaim and reuse inactive resources

Cloudsyntrix Goals

“With VMware, we have reduced the time needed to deploy virtual machines, as well as the e¦ort of individuals required to focus on manual steps to provision. This is saving money by refocusing towards strategic activities rather than building servers.”

Implementing cloud automation resulted in the following ROI:

Accelerated service delivery 98% | 4 days to 1.5 hrs.

Lowered operational costs 80% | $132K in savings

Optimized resource utilization 20% | $261K Savings
