virtualisation & cloud computing Cloud cockpit Self-service
Platform Computing provides cluster, grid and cloud management software that helps to allocate IT resources and alleviate workloads. Platform ISF is its next generation cloud management software product that has been specifi cally developed for enterprises to build and run private and hybrid clouds. Platform ISF creates a shared infrastructure-as-a-service computing infrastructure delivered to end users via a self-service portal and administered through a single unifi ed cloud cockpit. Platform ISF consolidates virtual (VMware, Xen, KVM, etc.), physical, storage and network resources to automate delivery of IT services according to a rich set of business policies for compliance, security, cost and performance. The end result is higher resource utilisation, more servers per administrator, and lower capital expenditures. Platform’s ISF private cloud management product has clear advantages for companies needing self-service IT delivery, deep VMware orchestration, support for multiple business units with hierarchical self-management, alignment of physical and virtual resources, and dynamic workload and resource management capabilities.
