Solutions: Private Cloud

Private clouds are the natural next step in the evolution of a virtualized datacenter, helping IT organizations become more efficient and deliver new business services with unprecedented speed. However, as an IT administrator, you are anxious about whether you can transition to the private cloud model without creating a management nightmare for your staff. Many questions are going through your mind, including: "Will I be able to use my existing infrastructure investments? Can I provide cloud users with self-service capabilities while making sure they don't go over available resources? Will I be able to guarantee the highest levels of service - a key performance measure for my organization? Can I enforce compliance with corporate policies?"

ConVirt 2.0 Enterprise has been designed to make your transition to a private cloud as easy as possible. Unlike some rip-and-replace solutions out there, ConVirt 2.0 Enterprise works with your existing virtual infrastructure deployment. By delivering full multi-tenant security, delegated control, scheduled provisioning, resource limiting, and virtual appliance catalogues, ConVirt 2.0 Enterprise enables you to offer infrastructure-as-a-service, while ensuring full isolation and compliance with corporate policies. And, of course, many of ConVirt 2.0 Enterprise's powerful features, such as high availability and backup and recovery, are available to your cloud deployment, enabling you to provide higher value, more differentiated levels of service to your clients.

Setup multi-tenancy in a fully secure fashion

ConVirt 2.0 Enterprise delivers fine-grained, role-based access control, enabling you to share your infrastructure resources among multiple clients while ensuring full isolation. Each client gets access to the ConVirt 2.0 Enterprise' highly interactive web console and can only see the server, storage, and network resources that have been allocated to them.

Choose how much control to delegate to the cloud users

ConVirt 2.0 Enterprise gives you full flexibility in choosing the extent of control you want to delegate to your clients. Whether you choose to pre-configure everything and give the client a view-only screen, or dedicate computing resources and let the client create, provision, and manage custom applications, ConVirt 2.0 Enterprise has you covered.

Ensure that clients stay within allocated resource limits

ConVirt 2.0 Enterprise enables you to limit the computing and storage resources that your cloud clients can use, ensuring that they do not go above the allocated quota. You can provide the clients with ability to monitor their resource consumption, making sure that they are not surprised if they run out of resources.

Automate build-out and tear-down of virtual infrastructures

In a cloud environment, you need to make sure that resources are utilized in the most efficient way possible. Client environments should be provisioned just in time and taken down as soon as they are no longer needed. ConVirt 2.0 Enterprise' scheduled provisioning capabilities enable you to automate the build-out and tear-down of virtual infrastructures based on a pre-defined schedule or timetable.

Provide differentiated levels of service

Any IT organization is faced with a wide spectrum of requests for resources, from hosting mission-critical production applications to providing a testing ground for a proof of concept. Depending on the request, you need to be able to sign up for appropriate service levels, assign priorities to applications, and ensure that you deliver on your commitments. ConVirt 2.0 Enterprise makes delivering differentiated levels of service to your clients effortless.

• Configure high availability for mission-critical applications: You can use ConVirt 2.0 Enterprise high availability feature set to protect critical applications against virtual machine and physical server failures, giving both you and your clients a peace of mind that those applications are always up and running.
• Make sure that critical applications get priority: ConVirt 2.0 Enterprise enables you and your clients (if you allow them) to assign priorities to virtual machines. Whenever multiple applications are competing for the same resources, ConVirt 2.0 Enterprise will make sure that higher priority applications are allocated resources before lower priority applications.
• Offer backup and recovery services: With ConVirt 2.0 Enterprise, you can offer backup and recovery services to your clients. You can configure backup policies per client, per application, a set of applications, or set a default across your enterprise.

Ensure compliance with corporate policies

As a cloud administrator, you can create pre-certified virtual appliances that comply with corporate standards and publish them effortlessly to your cloud users. ConVirt 2.0 Enterprise allows you download appliances from industry-leading appliance vendors or create your own based on reference images.
