The hybrid cloud management platform is an upper-layer management abstraction that allows an organization to manage private, public and virtual infrastructure seamlessly from a single-pane-of-glass. This platform allows you to create powerful policies and apply them to all virtual infrastructure. Also, you can not only build workflows and automation but you can expose those workflows to end-users as services. You can build service catalogs and easy to consume UI forms. Finally you can collect information about all virtual infrastructure enabling chargeback, dashboard visualization, monitoring and alerting. This platform supports OpenStack, Amazon EC2, Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Management (RHEV-M), VMware vCenter, Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM) and all the virtual infrastructure those platforms provide.
This hybrid cloud platform provides virtual machine life-cycle management. The idea is that a workload has a life-span and during its life will run on different infrastructure. It could be on private cloud infrastructure such as that from Red Hat, VMware or Microsoft. It could be on public cloud infrastructure from Amazon EC2, Cloud Service Provider running OpenStack or your own OpenStack private cloud. This platform lets you seamlessly manage your entire virtual infrastructure with policies and powerful automation engines. The idea of workload life-cycle management and moving workloads effortlessly across different infrastructure management platforms will become the norm to many organizations. Also acts as a comprehensive platform for open hybrid cloud management with application management included.
We are used to provisioning new environments but decommissioning them is something that occurs far less frequently. We need to change, infrastructure isn’t built forever, it is built for now and when the time comes workloads must be decommissioned or moved to new infrastructure seamlessly. Beyond that, our various cloud or infrastructure platforms must be controlled or governed by central policies. Finally provisioning must be completely automated through one-click end-user service catalogs. This is what hybrid cloud platform is all about. This hybrid cloud platform become the upper-layer multi-cloud management leader.
It scans and discovers existing resources and their relationships, letting it easily manage current environments and then continuously monitors those resources and scans for new ones, giving you exceptional visibility into the operations of the environment.
It starts with a web-based self-service catalog and extends to cover the complete life-cycle, operational, resource, and financial management of the deployed services―all within the same system.
It can see and manage both the guest and host systems, allowing management of workloads and infrastructure within the same system.
