Fundamental IT Challenge
Infrastructure Team Operations Team
Our customers are expecting increasingly faster delivery times.
I have complex environments to set-up but customers have no tolerance for errors or delays.
We used to own the servers running our apps. Now we don’t know if the apps can get the resources they need to run well.
Faster Service Execution at Lower Cost
We’ve spent a fortune on monitoring tools. Why are our end users still the first to know about performance problems and why do they take so long to solve?
Forget rapid provisioning and decommissioning…
… I’m expected to deliver AND support higher loads but cannot hire any new staff!
vCenter Orchestrator helps automate the Cloud
