Seamless Helps Customer Launch New Cloud Service Using Toolkits, Seamless Connectors and Best Practices
Seamless Technologies is a vital partner in a commercial Cloud offering that will provide government and enterprises next generation Virtual Private Data Centers (VDC) on a global delivery platform.
Seamless contributed to the architecture, delivery, testing, and Q&A of the service, from the service inception through delivery. The service offers VDCs using a Visio like GUI for creation, duplication for business continuity / disaster recovery, monitoring, management, and role-based portal entitlement. VDCs create a new level of business agility and IT cost savings.
Leveraging best practices, and numerous integrations available in HP Operations Orchestration, Seamless was responsible for creating, modifying, and decommis-sioning all the VDC Infrastructure components including VLANs, security, storage, and compute resources.
Software and hardware integrations on this project:
- Custom Self-Service Portal
- Semi-custom CMDB with service catalog
- HP Operations Orchestration
- HP Server Automation
- Microsoft SQL
- MySQL
- VMware vCenter 4.0
- Compellent Storage
- Cisco Nexus 1000, 5000, 7000
- Cisco Catalyst 6500
- Other Cloud planned projects include
Vital QIP, Storage Essentials, IDM, and instant on monitoring
Seamless Solutions for Cloud Challenges
Cloud computing is much more than building a Web page where end users can self-provision a Virtual Machine (VM). There are numerous details companies need to take into consideration. What services should you offer? How do you leverage what you have and determine what components you may need to be Cloud ready?
Seamless can help you leverage your existing investments and build a custom roadmap to get you to a fully automated, scalable and efficient Cloud. We have over ten years of service management solutions and automated service provisioning experience to address the following Cloud Challenges:
How to determine Cloud capacity
Seamless offers connectors that dynamically collect infrastructure data and feed it into the CMDB. This real-time connectivity allows companies to know at all times what is available for provisioning. |
|---|
How to create, control, and update entitlement Seamless can help companies create entitlement models in a CMDB that control what customers can self-service provision, as well as, how much Cloud resources each customer is allowed to use/purchase. |
How to offer self-service provisioning Seamless has extensive knowledge of CMDBs and Service Catalogs where companies can list all the Cloud packages that customers can request. This allows companies to quickly add, remove, and update Cloud offerings. |
How to provision Cloud resources Seamless has over 10 years experience automating OS deployments, as well as the required network, security, and storage components to support a virtual machine. |
How to audit Cloud usage Seamless solutions leverage Change Management and CMDB solutions that track customers and all the Cloud resources allocated to each customer. This can include approval options as well as auditing options to track all changes made. |
