Converged Blueprint Designer

• Unified Service Catalog

• Common authoring for all cloud platforms

• Governance & Policies

• Incorporate On-Demand Networking and Security

• Integrate external and custom services from the XaaS library

Provisioning a VM is fast and easy, but...

May not be security hardened or compliant with org’s

Standard Operating Environment (SOE)

Consumer still has to add their own components, likely

manually.

You could easily consume a week’s worth of work

manually completing the build-out of the newly

provisioned server

VMs can get thrown over the wall: no central visibility

into what the Consumer has done to the VM or what

state it is in now

No way to automate updating the VM once it has been

provisioned
