CloudBlue announced the launch of CloudBlue PSA IaaS 360,
a complete automated management solution enabling managed service
providers (MSPs) to streamline their multi-cloud
infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) practices. CloudBlue PSA IaaS 360 is a
set of unique IaaS management tools which is fully integrated into
CloudBlue PSA, a comprehensive professional services automation (PSA)
solution. It helps remove the manual tasks associated with sharing
information between the systems of leading cloud hyperscalers, MSPs and
their end-customers, simplifying and automating MSPs' connectivity to
leading IaaS tools.
The
solution empowers MSPs with enablement tools and resources to scale
their IaaS business, allowing them to operate at a faster pace and
remove operational bottlenecks. CloudBlue PSA IaaS 360 also leverages
integrations with Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure to help
MSP partners improve their IaaS capabilities, drive new revenue from
hyperscaler solutions, and expand their IaaS business.
"CloudBlue
PSA IaaS 360 takes building an IaaS business to the next level," said
Raj Marar, vice president and chief technology officer Cloud Channel
Platform, at CloudBlue. "By offering consolidated access to operational
tools and resources, partners can manage their IaaS assets in the cloud
from the vantage of a single viewpoint. With this level of multi-cloud
orchestration achieved, partners can view their entire multi-cloud
infrastructure, drive enablement of employees to accelerate vendor
competency and unlock more profit!"
Unlike
unstructured, manual or ‘homebuilt' processes, CloudBlue PSA IaaS 360
allows MSPs to automate and manage all facets of their IaaS practices
including leads and opportunities, service catalog, billing management,
multi-cloud orchestration, operational management including cost
optimization, security and well-architected reviews, and vendor
competency requirements -- freeing up time to help MSPs focus on
servicing clients and growing their IaaS practices.
As
it currently stands, MSPs that require multiple logins to the various
websites and tools that help them manage their IaaS business ultimately
lose out on time due to the fragmented nature of their workflows. This
slow enablement translates to missed opportunities, missed competencies,
and un-optimized revenue streams. Most importantly, MSPs faced with
this issue waste valuable time that could be better spent growing their
enterprises. To solve this, CloudBlue PSA IaaS 360 allows MSPs to
consolidate an overview of their tools and services and view their cloud
operations into a ‘single pane of glass' view.
