The Power to Change

Improved IT eficiency

IT has become more eficient by virtualizing compute, storage and networking of traditional infrastructure.

Driving IT transformation

: Agility

According to a Gartner Data Center Poll on Private Cloud Computing Drivers, 58% of respondents indicate

agility and speed as the most important driver in moving to private clouds.

Driving IT transformation

: Cloudautomation

IT e‰ciency is continually improving at a rapid rate, specifically in the following areas:

2. Accelerated Service Delivery Virtualization cuts delivery time even further, from days down to minutes.

4. Improved Operational E‰ciency With automated resource reclamation, new resources are delivered quickly, boosting productivity and reducing lengthy tasks.

3. Reduced Complexity via StandardizationThe complication of delivering and accessing resources is nearly eliminated.

1. Optimized Resource Utilization Automated workflows allow for resources to easily and e‰ciently be maximized.

New data from the VMware 2013 CloudOps Transformation Benchmark Survey revealed that automation is the #1 most substantially impactfultransformation for IT.This is ahead of:

Accelerate service delivery times

Reduce cost

Improve operational e‰ciency

Ease deployment and management

Optimize resource utilization

Automating cloud

Automation enables IT to:

Reduce cost Private cloud cost savings are much easier to quantify.

Improvements in IT e‰ciency are the foundation for the enhancements in agility and speed necessary to improve productivity and

address new business opportunities.

Vertical resource scaling

Hybrid environments

Cloud automation should support both private and hybrid clouds, optimizing horizontal and vertical scaling.

Enforce governance with policies, not people

Automating your cloud accelerates deployment times and cuts overall management costs.

Optimize resource utilization

Most companies assume a percentage of their resources will be wasted because the

costs to control and reclaim manually is greater than the savings.

However, it can account for between 15 to 25% of company resources.
