Remaining in control of the infrastructure, the access to it and the information held on it, are paramount to the Enterprise IT organisation, regardless of whether we are talking about virtualised infrastructure or not.

How are you keeping control of your virtualised resources? Many enterprises are forced to put up ‘process barriers’ between the application/business development teams and the IT infrastructure, in fear of how much control is given away.  Indeed, at VMWorld 2012, our survey results outlined that as much of 85% of organisations do not provide self-service provisioning to their end users.

Control the infrastructure through virtual datacenters

The Abiquo solution provides a means of implementing a fully automated business policy, which is unfailingly applied each and every time a virtual asset is provisioned by anyone in the organization.

Business policies ensure that security, governance, and operational efficiency goals are consistently met, allowing the IT organisation to revolutionise their approach to service delivery.

Instead of manually responding to endless requests for services from the business, enterprises can place IT approved images and solutions into a private ‘App Store’ and allow business end users to instantly access the services they need.  They can be confident that they are providing the business with controlled self-service, satisfying the needs of the business, and the IT organisation.
