VMware's new cloud management platform, vRealize Suite, provides unified management of private and public clouds through automation, intelligent operations, and business insights. It addresses issues organizations face with cloud computing like lack of cost transparency, agility, and scalability by automating infrastructure deployment, proactively managing performance, and providing full cost transparency. The vRealize Suite integrates various products to provide capabilities like self-service provisioning, predictive analytics, log management, and cost analysis to help IT organizations better support the business.
Introduction to vRealize Suite Messaging
- 1. vRealize™ Introducing VMware vRealize™ Suite Purpose Built for the Hybrid Cloud
- 2. 2 Cloud computing provides tremendous competitive advantages to companies, but it also puts enormous pressure on IT departments. vRealize Suite, VMware’s new cloud management platform, is an entirely new way of extending datacenter to hybrid cloud with a unified management experience, offering: • Automation – Automate the delivery and lifecycle management of infrastructure and application services • Intelligent operations – Proactively manage performance, capacity, compliance, and logs • Business insight – Align IT spending with business priorities by obtaining full cost transparency • Unified management – Use a single platform to provision and manage applications and infrastructure on-site and in the cloud Overview: Realizing the Full Power of the Cloud
- 3. 3 Pressure Building In the Cloud Cloud computing -- which lets LOBs get apps up and running at the swipe of a credit card -- has revealed inefficiencies in the way some IT organizations operate. Common Complaints Lack of agility Lack of cost transparency Overspending Not using Hybrid Clouds Root Causes Cross-silo processes Complex cost models Unused resources not reclaimed No common cloud management
- 4. 4 Tension Growing Between IT and the Business Technology disconnects cause clashes between IT and business leaders. • Too Costly • Too Slow • Wrong Priorities • Shadow IT • Compliance Concerns • Integration Overload Business leadersIT
- 5. 5 Broken Cloud Deployment Process Enterprises may be saddled with 50 to 100 software tools to manage infrastructure and IT service delivery—it is difficult for tools (or admins) to exchange vital information. This can lead to confusion. Fabric Admin What’s the right tier of storage (gold/ silver/bronze) based on SLAs? Business Stakeholder Will the app SLA be met? Cloud Admin Is a private or public cloud more effective? Server Admin What resource pool does each app need? Operations Admin How do I resolve capacity shortfalls with no visibility into SLA requirements? Result: Higher costs and long delays in implementing and managing infrastructure.
