1. Hybrid Cloud Management and Orchestration: Remove the
complexity for Modern Enterprise
Hybrid cloud models are one of the fastest growing cloud adoption models
because they allow enterprises to build, manage, and govern entire cloud
ecosystem from either the public cloud, private cloud, hybrid cloud services, –
or a combination — that most closely fits their own computing needs.
Organizations have embraced cloud services wholeheartedly and made it an
active part of their IT strategy. Considering the huge momentum in cloud
adoption and deployment, questions arise about the efficient management
and control of these services. A combination of complex cloud infrastructure
from various vendors, a couple of legacy systems, and ambiguity over
individual users launching multi-cloud services independently can all create
chaos and uncertainty – and lead to uncontrolled cost. It is critical that IT take
proactive approach to manage cloud deployments, otherwise usage can grow
out of control.
