Editor's Notes
- #6 All those attributes for a cloud environment change your operating model in IT and address the age-old issue of under-investing and over-investing in IT. Businesses typically err on one side or the other. When they under-invest, their systems are working as well as they should and business processes are at risk for failure. When they over-invest, they end up with tons of capacity that they don’t use and often don’t know where it resides or how to access it. They’re increasing their spending with no actual value to the businessThe cloud computing model solves this issue. The nature of cloud is a scalable, self-provisioned environment that delivers capacity as you need it… and scales it back down when you don’t. You only pay for what you use, not for added capacity you can’t find. The cloud operating model drives efficiency, speed and cost savings.
- #7 In order for any offering to be termed as a “cloud” is should have these characteristicsLifecycle ManagementSelf-service interface: Provides ability for users to order and track metered servicesService Delivery Automation: automates provisioning and meters usage of servicesResource Management: resources are provisioned and managed as per service needsOperational process automation: automates operational processes such as user management, capacity management, service level management, service desk integration, alerting….These characteristics create an environment where you provide “cloud on demand”, thereby establishing a flexible and scalable service delivery model for your customers. And ASG CloudFactory helps you consume cloud *your way* - via private, public or hybrid cloud.
