FlexNet Manager for Cloud Infrastructure provides enterprises with comprehensive visibility and optimization of their cloud infrastructure usage and spending. It aggregates data from multiple cloud accounts to provide dashboards showing total cloud spending trends, underutilized resources costing money, and usage patterns. This helps reduce expenditures, enable efficient usage, allow better budgeting and forecasting, and inhibit unauthorized "shadow IT". The tool analyzes costs and usage to determine the most cost-effective mix of cloud services and properly size resources to prevent overspending and waste. Automatic data collection and configurable reporting put relevant information in the hands of stakeholders to make effective decisions across the enterprise.

The Fast Path to Building a Private Cloud (With Guest Speaker from Forrester ...RightScale
RightScale Webinar: While the concept of the private cloud is still fairly new to the world of IT, there’s more pressure every day for IT teams to create and start testing private clouds in their organizations. In this webinar, James Staten will outline the top features an organization should look for in a private cloud and the suggested fastest path to starting an initiative. Michael Crandell will then illustrate how setting up a private cloud for proof-of-concept and testing can be done quickly and for free so that organizations can kick-start their efforts to developing the appropriate private cloud for their needs.
Whitepaper - Choosing the right cloud provider for your businessRick Blaisdell
As cloud computing becomes an increasingly important part of any IT organization’s delivery model, assessing and selecting the right cloud provider also becomes one of the most strategic decisions that business leaders undertake. The accumulation of the necessary data to base cloud buying decisions is often achieved in production, or reproduction models mainly as paid customer engagements or trial engagements – which often occurs AFTER the major decisions have been made in the sales process.
This white paper will deliver data that provides valuable information based on real compute scenarios to assist buyers of cloud services in understanding how their workloads might perform and what costs are associated with those environments across multiple cloud computing platforms BEFORE they invest in the selection of a cloud computing provider.
This is the extract of all the good presentation of cloud computing which we made easier for beginners who want to understand cloud computing from basic and easy and it is impressive too.
What is the role of clouds in driving substantial IT organizational change? Adopters of private clouds are looking for more agility and speed, according to IT market research highlighted in the presentation.
These business benefits are made possible by the adoption of cloud automation. The presentation examines automation advantages such as:
• Reducing management costs while also cutting cloud deployment time
• Cutting complexity via standardization
• Optimizing resource utilization
• Accelerating service delivery times.
Power to Change also spotlights specific gains achieved by Dow Jones & Co.’s adoption of VMware cloud automation software, including an 80% improvement in operational efficiency and substantial operational savings.
Learn how adopting cloud automation tools will provide a competitive edge to your organization.
Cloud computing and Integration consists of hardware and software resources made available on the Internet as managed third-party services, in a pay-per-use model , offering scalability and close alignment to actual demand.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

FlexNet Manager for Cloud Infrastructure
1. DATASHEET
FlexNet Manager
for Cloud Infrastructure
Comprehensive, accurate, and actionable insight into cloud infrastructure usage
Benefits:
• Reduce expenditures on
cloud services
• Enable efficient use of
cloud infrastructure
• Understand usage trends
for better budgeting
and forecasting
• Make more effective
deployment decisions
• Inhibit shadow IT and
cloud sprawl
The cloud infrastructure as a service (IaaS) industry
is growing fast – over 15% per year according
to IDC1
. And it is easy to understand why. Cloud
infrastructure services add terrific benefits to an
organization. They are easy to purchase. They
give you immediate access to computing power,
storage, and database services without the need or
overhead of setting up or adding to a datacenter.
And, they can mean a faster time to value when
delivering IT services.
In many cases, infrastructure services such as
those provided by Amazon Web Services can be
acquired at lower cost than a company can achieve
if it builds them in-house. But the adoption of
cloud services does not come without new business
challenges. The ease of purchase and lower initial
cost can easily result in:
• Lack of visibility into total spend on cloud
infrastructure services across multiple
departments and business units
• The growth of “shadow IT” and cloud sprawl
which can lead to spiraling costs
• Poor insight into cloud operational data
• Difficulty in the ability to chargeback for
cloud expenditures
And the ease of purchase and ability to quickly
leverage cloud compute power does not lessen the
need to manage the cloud infrastructure in your
enterprise. Without effective tools and processes,
you risk overspending on cloud instances and
paying for infrastructure that you may not be using.
FlexNet Manager for Cloud Infrastructure
FlexNet Manager for Cloud Infrastructure provides
enterprises with comprehensive, accurate and
actionable insight into cloud infrastructure usage to
optimize use and spend on these services.
Built on proven Flexera Software license
management technology, it automates the collection
and aggregation of cloud usage data and billing
information to produce a complete view of cloud
service consumption throughout the enterprise.
Provide a 360 Degree View of Cloud Usage
and Spend
FlexNet Manager for Cloud Infrastructure provides
the means to see, at a glance, a complete view of
your cloud operations using role based dashboards.
The Financial Dashboard (Figure 1) shows which
business units are spending the most money, how
much unused or underutilized cloud instances are
costing you, spending patterns and trends, and
spending by service type.
The Operational Dashboard (Figure 2) shows
utilization patterns by instance type, which
instances are underutilized, when your AWS EC2
reservations are expiring, and usage trends.
Combined, these dashboards provide
unprecedented visibility into cloud infrastructure
usage and spend, and enable you to perform more
detailed analysis for fact-based decision making.
“After being involved
with thousands
of cloud contracts,
I have learned
that successful
management
of your cloud
instances and
accounts is a basic
requirement for to
optimize usage
and spending.”

Understanding Cloud Infrastructure
• Amazon Web Services (AWS) – a cloud computing service provided by Amazon.com
• Amazon EC2 (Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud) – an AWS product that provides virtual and resizable
computing capacity in the cloud
• Amazon Reserved Instances – allow you to reserve computing capacity for 1 or 3 years at a discount
• On-Demand Instance – provides compute capacity by the hour with no long-term commitments

3. What is the best mix of Amazon EC2 services for your
organization? FlexNet Manager for Cloud Infrastructure
helps determine the most cost effective option with two key
capabilities—Cloud Cost Analysis and Cloud Usage Analysis.
Cloud Cost Analysis
FlexNet Manager for Cloud Infrastructure enables
organizations to perform detailed cost analysis of their total
cloud infrastructure spend. It begins by providing visibility
of how much you are spending for Amazon Web Services,
including EC2 On-Demand and Reserved Instances, Amazon
Redshift, Amazon S3, Amazon VPC and Amazon RDS. In
addition, it shows spending trends over configurable time
periods, and allows organizations to project future spending
month-to-month.
This will help to:
• Choose the most cost effective instance type
• Optimize spend and make better purchasing decisions
• Improve budgeting and financial management
• Provide business relevance of collected data
Cloud Usage Analysis
Analyzing the cost of cloud infrastructure services is only part
of managing the cloud. Companies need to make sure that
Amazon EC2 instances in use are utilized properly, whether
ensuring that Reserved Instance capacity is consumed before
On-Demand instances are launched, or by ensuring that right-
sized instances are used. This helps prevent an organization
from buying more expensive virtual machine configurations
than they really need.
With FlexNet Manager for Cloud Infrastructure, organizations
have complete visibility of their utilization of Amazon Web
Services Reserved Instances, understand the cloud instance
utilization rate, and can see their cloud instance usage trends
over configurable time periods.
This allows organizations to:
• Manage the cloud instance lifecycle to make better
decisions about the best mix of on-demand and
reserved instances
• Have the most cost effective instance configurations that
best meet their needs
• Eliminate idle cloud instances to reduce waste
Configurable Reporting
Effective decision making requires the right information at the
right time. An extensible report engine included with FlexNet
Manager for Cloud Infrastructure enables users to easily
visualize cost or usage data and perform in-depth analysis.
A library of out-of-the-box reports enables a quicker time to
value, providing answers to cloud usage and cost questions.
And you can easily share reports and data with key
stakeholders, tailoring them to meet their needs throughout
the enterprise.
Automatic Data Collection and Aggregation
Amazon provides volumes of usage and cost data, sometimes
multiple gigabytes in size. The challenge, however, is the
enormous time and effort needed to turn this immense volume
of raw data into information that has business relevance.
FlexNet Manager for Cloud Infrastructure automatically
collects and aggregates billing and usage information
from multiple accounts. Data can be classified by multiple
parameters, including AWS Tags, account, instance type,
and account owner, to align cloud service billing to your
organizational hierarchy.
Intelligent Solutions for Managing Enterprise Software
FlexNet Manger for Cloud Infrastructure is part of FlexNet
Manager Suite for Enterprises, a comprehensive, proven,
next generation hardware asset management, software
asset management, license compliance and software license
optimization solution. The Suite provides entitlement based
license management and software license optimization to
enable organizations to reduce ongoing software licensing
