For virtualised environments, the ACE service delivers operational intelligence with a cloud management layer and includes:
– Secure, personalised self-service automated provisioning
– Unified governance and control over virtual, physical and public cloud resources
– Intuitive user and administration portals
– Service catalog with defined offerings and chargeback capability
– Intelligent workload placement
– Defined policies
– Standard configurations
– Comprehensive reporting
– Integration with existing IT infrastructure
– Deployment, documentation and training
– Ongoing life-cycle management
The ACE service allows enterprises to have a fully-operational private cloud deployed within 45 days. This service is based on DynamicOps’ Cloud Suite, and supports VMware ESX and ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V and Citrix XenServer. While the ACE service facilitates the rapid deployment of a fully-operational cloud, it is also designed to be fully extensible and scalable.
