Novell tackles private cloud lock-in |
|
|
Novell has announced the Cloud Manager, a solution that allows customers to build and securely manage cloud environments across all leading hypervisors, operating systems and hardware platforms, as a seamless extension of existing data center resources. Novell said its Cloud Manager does not lock customers into proprietary technology stacks. Instead, it is designed for the real-world IT environments that allow users the freedom and flexibility to create and manage private clouds that support all leading hypervisors, operating systems and hardware platforms. The cloud computing management platform offers a single, comprehensive console that all stakeholders - business unit leaders, application teams and IT management - can use to request, approve, manage and report on IT services across their entire infrastructure. Citing the findings of a recent Harris Interactive survey that it sponsored, Novell said that of more than 200 IT professionals at large enterprises, 89 percent see private clouds as the next logical stop for organizations already using virtualization. It said 93 percent feel private cloud platforms should offer a management framework that can span a heterogeneous infrastructure, while 91 percent displayed concerns about the inherent security risks public clouds present. Novell outlined the key benefits of its cloud manager, saying that besides supporting the leading hypervisors and operating systems, it delivers IT services faster with automated, on demand workload provisioning; controls virtual sprawl with cost visibility, creates a secure and compliant environment, and integrates with the best security and business service management products. |
