Slide2Business Drivers for Private Cloud
2
Lack of agility
High cost of provisioning
Business-IT dissonance
Reduce Provisioning Times for New Services
Improve
IT-Business Alignment
Provisioning for Peak Loads
Low capacity utilization
Overcrowding of datacenter
Labor-intensive, manual processes for service management
Move towards Proactive SLA Management
Need for Centralized Control and Governance across Infrastructure
High error rates due to disconnected processes
Infrastructure sprawl
Reduce Capital Costs: Flexible Repurposing of Resources
Slide3Elements of Private Cloud Computing
Self-Service Interface: Provides ability for users to order and track metered servicesService Delivery Automation:Automates provisioning and meters usage of servicesResource Management:Resources are provisioned and managed as per service needsOperational Process Automation:Automates operational processes such as user management, capacity management, service level management, service desk integration, alerting…Lifecycle Management
