Hitachi and CSC enables Everything-as-a-Service through an Enterprise Cloud Management platform
One of the trends we have seen accelerating in 2015 is a greater investment in management automation tools for both companies and hosting providers. Provisioning of applications and orchestration of workloads that will be done based on templates. Orchestration includes the movement of workloads between clouds, private and public to align the appropriate infrastructure based on cost, performance, locality, and governance. Management automation is now facilitated by a converged infrastructure with an orchestration layer that eliminates the need to link and launch different element managers. This in combination with an Enterprise Cloud Management platform makes it possible to offer Everything-as-a-Service.
Even though companies are adopting cloud technologies as a solution, some are failing because of common missteps and pitfalls.
They provide simple Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) instead of what the business wants — access to IT platforms, and applications on demand — or they consolidate around a single private cloud offering and miss the agility and cost savings of a hybrid cloud-based operating model. But, how do you adopt hybrid cloud operating models while maintaining security, compliance and governance?
