Self-Service Infrastructure Provisioning

• A single, integrated ,turnkey solution; ready for use in hours

• Enforce best practices with consistent infrastructure policies

• Seamless virtual and physical resource pooling

• Hypervisor agnostic

• End-to-end automation

• Model-based automation— no need for scripting

• Single-click, policy-driven provisioning

• Ongoing lifecycle management


Challenges:

• Manual processes

• Complex handoffs between teams and domains

• Static resource allocation

Result:

• Days/weeks/months to deploy IT services

• High operational cost

• Rigid silos

• Infrastructure inefficiency and under utilization
