Why is Cloud Management Important?
“ … at the end of the day, it doesn’t matter if what you have is called a private cloud, a well run data center or a unicorn ranch. What matters is that if your private cloud is basically lots of virtualization and little or no automation and orchestration, then you aren’t gaining the benefits you could. Only when automation and orchestration hit their stride will you begin to enjoy full operational efficiencies.”1

“54% were unsure of how many cloud services were being
used, effecting optimal business
operations.”
“Nearly 70% of active cloud users report little
confidence monitoring their cloud services”

Virtualization environments are running in 90% of businesses, but virtualization isn’t cheap, and it’s definitely not free.– Hypervisor promises of cutting infrastructure expense by 60%
have given way to 300% increases in license costs
While costs rise, so does image volume… and now they’re in as many as four hypervisors.– More than 50% of virtualization environments today have more
than one brand of hypervisor.– Number of virtual machines in use in data centers has
increased 10x in 10 years– Average number of images “destroyed?” No one knows…
Bringing these environments to optimum performance – without dismantling existing infrastructure – is a key challenge– You can’t see always see them patch them or back them up.– You only know they exist when you get the bill.
Virtualization can increase costs if not it’s not optimized

• Powerful search capabilities to find the image you need without the need for agents or for powering on the images
• Identify “drift” of a virtual machine since its deployment at the product and file levels
• Helps control image sprawl by finding groups of similar images to be replaced by a standard image
• A source of standard images identified by version numbers. Deployments are recorded to trace virtual machines back to their origin.
