Todays Datacenter Challenges

Traditional Virtualization Approach

Business system administrators request infrastructure through email or IT request portal.

IT receives request and begins provisioning process.

Provisioning of virtual machines uses basic automation. Virtual machines are provisioned to business unit specific silos of virtual hosts.

Consumption of infrastructure resources and operational costs increase.

Increased IT costs Asset registration, setting up monitoring, maintenance windows, backup, security, and deploying the required applications is a series of manual tasks across multiple teams that causes delays in business processes. Ongoing maintenance of deployed virtual machines and virtual hosts is a manual, highly coordinated activity.

The business over-provisions infrastructure with no visibility or allocation of the true cost of running the infrastructure.

Microsoft Private Cloud Approach

Business
Business system administrators requests virtual machines or complete services through a rolebased, self-service interface. Provisioning of virtual machines or complete services is highly automated. Infrastructure resources are pooled across business units for maximum density and availability.

IT

Consumption of infrastructure resources is elastic and optimized as a balance between business need and allocated cost.

Reduced IT Costs

Asset registration, setting up monitoring, maintenance windows, backup, security, and deployment of applications is highly automated.

Business units are allocated units of quota and reporting of consumption is provided for chargeback or show-back purposes.

Ongoing maintenance of deployed virtual machines and virtual hosts is automated and orchestrated to reduce downtime.

Benefits of a Microsoft Private Cloud

Lower system management costs Lower software costs Lower hardware, infrastructure and facilities costs
