Gain Control Over Virtual Environments

Today, many organizations find great value in the flexibility, portability and cost savings of virtual machines (VM) and are growing their environments rapidly. However, these benefits come with some new challenges managing large numbers of VMs. Research states that a single administrator can only effectively manage 20-30 physical servers, because VMs require the same support and tasks to manage as physical servers. Many organizations address this issue by simply increasing the number of administrators as their VMs increase. This adds costs, which can diminish the economic benefit of virtualization initiatives. Faced with this problem, organizations can either slow their adoption in virtualization, in an effort to reduce VM administration costs, or look for alternatives.

Vizioncore's Provisioning, Management and Automation solution helps you realize the immediate benefits of virtualization that includes reduced provisioning errors, reduced administration time and effort, all while recognizing cost savings. This solution focuses on streamlining two key areas: Self-Service Provisioning and Management and Automation.

Self-service provisioning addresses this challenge by connecting the VM consumers with VM administrators through a seamless and automated virtual machine request, approval and provisioning process. The VM consumer can spin up their environments without getting VM administrators involved, but at the same time ensures VM administrators remain in complete control over their virtualized environments.

Management and Automation addresses these challenge by enabling VM administrators to automate administrative tasks in a multi-VM, multi-hypervisor environment, including VMWare®, Hyper-V, XenServer™ and Solaris Zones. Automating manual and repetitive tasks on an ever-changing environment reduces administration costs and improves VM management consistency. Managing a multi-hypervisor platform environment though a single pane of glass simply reduces time and effort required by administration.
