Flexential announced
the launch of its Hosted Private Cloud - Advanced vCenter Access cloud
solution, a new cloud product offering customers full cloud control and VMware
vCenter management - the only solution in the market today to do so.
Advanced vCenter Access is a new
addition to Flexential's Hosted Private Cloud offering which extends more
control to customers, beyond the previously released Hosted Private Cloud -
vCenter Access solution. It is part of Flexential's industry-leading cloud
portfolio that consists of Hosted Private Cloud, vCenter Access, Multi-tenant,
Managed Public Cloud and Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS) solutions. Advanced
vCenter Access gives users the advantage of having full control of their cloud
environment as well as direct access and interoperability with third-party
tools customers have already invested in.
Moving workloads from on-premise
environments to the cloud continues to be the primary driver amongst US
enterprise IT initiatives because of the gains it provides in efficiency and
cost savings. According to Gartner, over 90% of
infrastructure and operations (IO) organization staff will be largely remote by
the end of 2023, with 'anywhere operations' and 'core modernization' coming to
the forefront. Knowing this, enterprise agility, application automation and
workflow innovation will be key. Businesses are thus increasingly looking to
offload the management burden of their compute, network and storage
requirements while maintaining the ability to allow their internal IT
departments to easily manage and configure infrastructure resources.
Flexential's Hosted Private Cloud
- Advanced vCenter Access is providing businesses with full control and access
to the underlying hypervisor, which allows integration of 3rd party
tools. With the proliferation of 3rd party DevOps tools
and the essential functionality they bring to application development, Advanced
vCenter Access provides customers with the advanced vCenter permissions to
enable full control over their third-party integrated environment.
"Flexential's new Advanced
vCenter Access solution enables us to manage, maintain and configure our cloud
solution just as we would had we built a similar solution in-house,"
said Michael Brizendine, VP of Technology at Onyx CenterSource.
"It's ideal for us because we have the ability to make real-time decisions
to optimize our workflows as our business needs dictate, and we can trust that
the management and maintenance of the underlying infrastructure is in good
hands with Flexential."
"Businesses today need
flexible underlying cloud solutions if they hope to remain competitive and
agile in our modern IT-driven economy," said Mike Fuhrman, chief
operating officer of Cloud and Managed Services, Flexential. "With
this latest addition to our Hosted Private Cloud family, we are providing
customers with the enhanced freedoms to manage their resources, to optimize
their applications and ensure consistent, high-quality code releases. We are
helping businesses to be more agile with their workflows and increase the
frequency and reliability of software deployments. Flexential remains committed
to empowering businesses with the tools and access needed to be more efficient
and perform at the highest possible level."
Building upon the company's
Hosted Private Cloud - vCenter Access solution, Flexential's new advanced
solution allows customers to have the same level of freedom, flexibility and
control as they would in their on-premise environments. The elimination of
outsourced vCenter restraints provides a powerful advantage compared with other
vCenter Access offerings. Ultimately, Advanced vCenter Access allows
customers to refocus resources on priority workload projects and save money
that would be allocated to on-premise infrastructure.
