Common challenges
3
“Datacenter management is
fragmented with too many
disconnected tools…”
“Vendors are pushing
me to a closed
architecture, which I
don’t want.”
“Virtualization made
the virtual layer agile,
but I still have to deal
with silo’s compute,
network and storage”
“IT is too slow…we’re
losing momentum…
let’s use a public cloud
provider instead…”
”It costs too much to
design, procure, deploy,
& integrate new
base/bare metal
infrastructure…”
“Silos & manual processes
impact service quality…”

Get Up & Running Quickly
Discover
• Quickly discover: auto-inventory available resources
• Pool resources: create resource pools
• Define users: integrate with AD/LDAP; create local user groups
Accelerate IT Service Deployment • Maximize IT Efficiency• Strengthen IT Service Quality
Capture Best Practices & User Rules
• Design templates & orchestration rules: Leverage out-of-box templates or create custom ones; define workload lifecycle
• Create user rules: specify resource access for users
Define
Rapidly Deliver High
Quality Workloads
• Deploy templates: Schedule or on-demand provision workloads through defined templates
• Manage requests: use the web portal to accept and fulfill infrastructure requests
Deploy
Evolve Workloads As Needs Change
• Scale workloads: Add or remove resources from workloads
• Migrate workloads: Move workloads to as needed
• Manage lifecycle: update or release resources as needed
