DynamicOps Operations Virtualization™
The Key to Cloud Computing
Virtualization technologies—from application and hardware to operating system and storage—are becoming the de facto standard because they ease critical, yet complex, IT tasks. Enterprise cloud computing poses a whole new level of IT complexity challenges. It requires that all management systems comprising your infrastructure—from asset and image management, to configuration management and operational monitoring—work seamlessly together and can be easily controlled. The only way to achieve this is through Operations Virtualization.
Operations Virtualization is the means to enabling the cloud results. Like other virtualization technologies that create an abstraction layer between services above them and the resource they are simplifying and protecting, Operations Virtualization is an abstraction layer between multiple management systems and their consumers (application, web portal or users). By virtualizing the operations layer, you can ensure that business process is applied across your entire organization in an automated fashion.
How DynamicOps Operations Virtualization Works
DynamicOps Operations Virtualization technology helps you create a secure, self-service cloud by combining automation, orchestration and management across disparate management systems with user-aware, IT-controlled governance. It works by:
- Separating operational resources into different logical views based upon user context.
- Applying rules that govern the interaction between user request and multiple automation, orchestration and management platforms so that you maintain compliance with corporate policy.
- Applying management to the layer below without the layer above knowing how or why—keeping everything clean and simple.
- Protecting the underlying system from indiscriminate change so that nothing inadvertently breaks down or causes rippling-effect alternations.
- Simplifying interaction without requiring consumer input or knowledge.
With DynamicOps Operations Virtualization, you eliminate the complexities inherent in operations and replace them with an easily addressable and configurable layer. Operations Virtualization makes true enterprise cloud computing possible.
