Cloud Management Practice

The Problem
Public, private and hybrid cloud environments are in vogue but as the these complex new environments mature, new challenges emerge. They quickly become an unwieldy drain on precious IT operations and the application development staff.  Virtualization has automated the provisioning of compute and storage, but other keys of the process in the life cycle of a complex computing environment are still largely done manually. Hybrid cloud environments amplify the problem. Cloud environments lose their advantage if you have to hire many system admins and operational staff to manage them.

Cloud Computing Lifecycle Processes
Receiving, analyzing and configuring new environments for either application development or production applications includes:
  • Talking to users about the available types of computing environments
  • Charging back computing costs to individual groups or departments
  • Approvals for allocation of IT resources
  • Provisioning of databases, networks, applications and the configuration of those applications in complex development and/or production environments
  • Governance, including implementing predictive and assistive policies
  • Compliance audits and remediation, so that all environments are automatically maintained to defined standards
Our Solution
Cloud Management platforms are off-the-shelf applications designed specifically to automate the lifecycle of complex computing environments from the time they are requested to the time they are torn down.
We support industry leading cloud management platforms and maintain deep expertise in implementation and integration of these platforms. Our proven methodology and experience in implementing these systems will reduce your project time line and risk.

  • Analysis of business objectives, constraints, requirements
  • Design, choosing the best way to implement requirements based upon implementation, upgrade and maintenance costs
  • Customization and Integration
  • Testing
  • Production Rollout and Training

Our cloud management practice is designed to streamline operations and increase staff productivity regardless of cloud architecture.  Processes that manage public, private or hybrid environments can be automated and harmonized so they can be optimized for cost, workload and resource usage.  Our value is not only in the ability to greatly accelerate the implementation of a cloud management platform, but also to enable integration to existing technology ecosystems in a way that will maximize investment and lower risk.
