Increase Business Agility by Automating Key IT Processes
IT is under significant pressure to create, deliver and maintain flexible IT services that respond to changing business conditions and withstand any type of downtime. The need for flexibility and responsiveness is counterbalanced by the equally important goals to ensure compliance with IT policies and standards. A higher degree of datacenter automation can help companies achieve these goals. In fact, industry analysts agree that automation of critical IT management processes could be the “next big thing.”
Business Continuity
Business continuity is the ability to recover IT services in case of an entire site outage, quickly and reliably. However, traditional disaster recovery solutions leave many organizations unable to meet recovery time and recovery point objectives. Slow and often manual recovery processes are prone to errors and result in frequent failures.
To address the need for business continuity, VMware offers end-to-end disaster recovery management and automation with VMware Site Recovery Manager. Site Recovery Manager delivers a groundbreaking solution to make disaster recovery rapid, reliable, manageable, and affordable. Site Recovery Manager delivers centralized management of recovery plans, automates the recovery process, and enables dramatically better testing of recovery plans.
IT Service Delivery
IT Service Delivery is the lifecycle of developing, , staging, deploying, updating, and retiring IT services. Every step in this process must be completed in compliance with established corporate policies.
Effective IT service delivery poses challenges for three key constituents who serve in different roles throughout lifecycle.
- IT administrators: Many are overwhelmed with keeping up with infrastructure requests. They are also concerned with compliance to established company standards and policies.
- Development and QA: Long lead times for fulfilling infrastructure requests can delay product development cycles. They need their virtual multi-tier environments, and they need them now.
- Application administrators: Tasked with transitioning new or updated applications into production, they must coordinate numerous changes while minimizing downtime risk due to pre-production error.
The VMware solution for IT Service Delivery consists of three products that address the different needs of these groups:
- VMware Lifecycle Manager: addresses the needs of infrastructure administrators, and allows companies to implement a consistent and automated process for requesting, approving, deploying, updating, and retiring virtual machines. It automates the steps within the process to improve efficiency and productivity, and to ensure strict compliance with established IT policies and standards..
- VMware Lab Manager: addresses the needs of development and QA engineers, and the IT teams that support them, providing fast and simple self-service provisioning of multi-tier environments while enabling IT control over infrastructure and policies.
- VMware Stage Manager: addresses the needs of the IT and application administrators responsible for rolling new and updated IT services into production, enabling streamlined and accelerated transition of applications through the pre-production stages – such as integration, testing, staging, user acceptance testing – and into production.
