PRODUCT OVERVIEW
IT infrastructure is not static. Technology advancements and business demands have pushed
IT departments to embrace hybrid environments — those composed of virtualization, private or
public cloud platforms, and container-based infrastructures. As the platforms have changed, so
have the requirements for IT operations. Now more than ever, managing IT operations means
focusing on enabling services rather than managing systems; establishing trusted processes for
compliance rather than controlling everything; and automating the infrastructure to deliver
greater responsiveness.
Red Hat® CloudForms offers unified management for hybrid environments, providing consistent
processes and functionality across infrastructures. Its self-service ordering with automated
provisioning and policy enforcement helps enterprises accelerate service delivery, and Red Hat
CloudForms gives IT managers complete operational and life-cycle control over the deployed
services. In this way, customers can improve service levels while retaining operational control in
a secure and compliant environment.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Red Hat CloudForms provides IT operations with greater visibility through continuous discovery,
monitoring, and deep inspection of resources. It can provision new resources or discover existing
ones, allowing IT operations staff to visualize and understand the relationships between them,
track down root causes, and plan for future scenarios.

Building on the deep insights and collected data, Red Hat CloudForms ensures compliance and
governance using automated policy enforcement and remediation. Policies ensure that resources
remain compliant with corporate and regulatory requirements. And if Red Hat CloudForms
detects an out-of-compliance state, it can raise alerts or automatically remediate the issue.
Throughout this process, Red Hat CloudForms tracks actions and maintains audit logs to create a
clear timeline of events.
Red Hat CloudForms is designed to deliver a quick return on investment; its virtual appliance
format and agentless design allows it to scan existing infrastructure in a short amount of time. In
addition, its robust integration capabilities allow it to connect to existing IT operations environ-
ments for a fully automated IT process.
