DESCRIPTION

(Presented by RightScale) We’ve all seen the trend: your internal customers, developers, and business users alike, want self-service access to IT resources they need. And increasingly they want those resources in the cloud via a single management console. Cloud computing offers them the agility they need to respond to market demands and the ability to scale up while keeping costs low. IT can become a hero by providing a self-service portal where internal customers can provision their own cloud resources while IT can maintain the control and visibility an enterprise requires. The happy result: enterprise agility and enterprise control. During this session, learn how to empower your internal customers to provision the necessary cloud resources when they need them but also ensure that they are well within IT approved guidelines. To help illustrate the effectiveness of this approach, our presenters walk you through real-world examples and the overall impact on their organizations. -Create an IT vending machine with consistent and reproducible processes. -Manage multiple IT environments through a single-pane-of-glass -Use cost planning and forecasting to fine-tune and understand cloud spend. -Discover reporting and auditing tools to ensure compliance.
