Accelerate IT service delivery while reducing cost

DynamicOps helps companies implement private cloud computing for both servers and desktops that is faster, more comprehensive, and less costly than competitive offerings or internal development. Here's how:

• Up and Running Day 1
  After establishing a few governance policies, companies can start deploying desktops and servers on Windows and Linux immediately.
• Easy Customization
  Out of the box, DynamicOps® Virtual Resource Manager (VRM) software comes with multiple process-automation workflows that support a variety of approaches to delivering IT services. These pre-packaged workflows can be customized rapidly without any code changes. Optional plug-ins facilitate rapid integration with industry-standard technologies and management tools, also without changing code.
• Accelerated VM Provisioning
  IT generally spends four to six hours over three to four days provisioning each new virtual machine. DynamicOps automates this process, eliminating manual effort by highly skilled resources. A company with 1000 VMs can save over $200,000 annually.
• Accelerated Service Delivery
  Even with virtualization, it is not uncommon for users to wait three to four days for delivery of a new IT service. VRM allocates and reallocates compute resources dynamically for immediate service delivery based on business priorities.

“Moving to a system of virtual machines managed by VRM was the ideal solution for us. We now have a flexible IT infrastructure that can grow to meet new demands. Our central IT Services department is no longer needed to re-provision workstations, giving us more time to focus on other IT projects."

• Accelerated Virtualization
  The biggest barrier to more rapid virtualization is management of the virtual infrastructure. Without appropriate policies and tools, companies slow virtualization to avoid losing control. DynamicOps provides the automation, governance, and control that allow companies to deploy virtualization beyond initial plans. A company with 2,000 physical servers and 1,000 VMs can save $400,000 to $500,000 annually by accelerating its virtualization plans just five percent.

“VRM has reduced the provisioning cycle from days to minutes. As we expand to thousands of VMs, this reduction will greatly improve initial service delivery and ongoing management, while lowering operational costs.” 

• User Self-Service
  VRM provides a self-service portal where virtual machines are provisioned from a pool of assigned resources. Self-service – combined with IT governance, automated workflow, and operational oversight – reduces VM provisioning from days to minutes.

“In the case where self-provisioning for virtualized servers has been deployed, VRM enabled us to reduce our provisioning lead times from weeks to minutes. This has resulted in more efficient server utilization and lower capital costs.

• Optimal Resource Utilization
  Virtual machine sprawl is one of the biggest concerns facing companies that have deployed virtualization. DynamicOps combats sprawl by eliminating over-provisioning and creation of unauthorized VMs, automating the reuse of machines needed for temporary purposes, and automating the recycling of inactive and abandoned VMs. A company with 1000 VMs can save over $300,000 annually through more efficient resource utilization.

"VRM has made desktop virtualization a win/win for Credit Suisse. We are able to improve the user experience through rapid service delivery, while maximizing the operational ROI through automation and standardization.”
