Exploring the Smart Products

Cloud Management Platform 

Why a Cloud Management Platform Makes Sense?

The vast majority of enterprises today are planning for a multi-cloud strategy that will encompass a portfolio of public and private cloud options. There are a wide range of business requirements that drive the need for a heterogeneous set of cloud resource pools — including geography, cost, features, and existing investments. For example, an enterprise may have teams using AWS and Azure and other teams using vSphere to meet the needs of different applications and business goals.

A cloud management platform (CMP) should make it even easier and faster for enterprise users to get fully configured stacks or applications in public or private clouds via an easy-to-use interface without sacrificing the necessary visibility, governance, and control. 

Manage All Your Clouds with the RightScale Cloud Management Platform

In this multi-cloud world, organizations are looking for ways to broker and manage cloud applications and services from a single pane of glass. The RightScale Universal Cloud Management Platform enables you to deliver self-service provisioning and control to your cloud consumers, govern and manage all your cloud workloads from a single console, and track and optimize your cloud usage and spend. In addition, RightScale supports your DevOps and Docker initiatives by integrating with your existing tools to provide automated infrastructure through the entire application lifecycle.

The RightScale Optima

This is Collaboration across the Enterprise Coordinate between cloud governance teams and resource owners to take action and reduce cloud spend. RightScale Optima is a cloud cost management and optimization solution that enables enterprises to cut cloud costs and ensure the ongoing efficient use of cloud resources across all of their business units, cloud accounts, clouds, and applications. One of the biggest challenges when optimizing cloud costs is implementing recommended savings across large organizations where control of cloud accounts is decentralized. RightScale Optima offers a unique approach to cost management and optimization that enables cloud governance teams to work collaboratively with business units and cloud resource owners to reduce wasted cloud spend.

The cloud migration

And in the process we’ll rule out applications that will not be successful on the cloud. With CloudSight Consulting, our Professional Services Architects will help you select the best-suited IaaS providers, public or private.
