VMTurbo, the leading provider of
software-defined control for cloud and virtualized environments, today announced a Hybrid Cloud Extension to its
Operations Manager
control system. With the extension, VMTurbo’s solution makes
recommendations regarding what workload to run where and when to enable
‘cloud bursting’ for enterprises seeking to lower costs and improve
service delivery.
“The path to successful cloud computing implementation relies on a
hybrid cloud model to meet business demands and requirements, as well as
an intelligent management platform that streamlines decision making,”
said Mark Bowker, senior analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group. “With its
new hybrid cloud module, VMTurbo Operations Manager enables control
within and across mixed cloud environments to ensure increased
performance and optimized infrastructure utilization of customers’
on-premises infrastructure.”
VMTurbo Operations Manager determines optimal workload placement and
resource configuration for private cloud environments based on business
constraints and policies to maximize efficiency and performance. With
the addition of the Hybrid Cloud Extension, VMTurbo enables workloads to
seamlessly span on- and off-premises infrastructure to address peak
demands by automatically determining what workloads should run in
private or public cloud infrastructure, such as Microsoft Azure and
Amazon Web Services.
“Hybrid clouds are gaining traction within enterprises because of the
flexibility, and scalability they provide. We recognized this trend and
developed a solution that effectively takes advantage of the on-demand
resources available in a hybrid cloud,” said N. Louis Shipley, president
and chief executive officer at VMTurbo. “Our enhanced solution
drastically cuts the time IT administrators spend worrying about
capacity and performance. With the Hybrid Cloud Extension, VMTurbo takes
the guesswork out of planning for hybrid clouds and managing how
workloads span the hybrid cloud to drive the most value for the
enterprise.”
Operations Manager 4.0 is generally available today and pricing
starts at $699 per physical CPU socket. The Hybrid Cloud Extension is
available to current VMTurbo customers in its Early Access program.
