AS businesses move to the cloud, successful management of all aspects of infrastructure technology including service quality, security and availability, become more critical.
Customers need comprehensive information
about their physical and virtual server environments in order to obtain
a true picture of how resources are being used especially when trying
to scale and rapidly provision workloads.
Cloud computing is changing the way
companies do business. Vastly scalable and less resource and energy
intensive, it enables organisations to purchase robust and reliable
infrastructure and application services at predictable, reduced costs.
"In offices today and in corporate data
centres, cloud computing is the ‘flavour’ of the day and we have managed
to deliver world class cloud services…." said Acting Director for
Vodacom Enterprise Business Unit, Boniface Emmanuel.
Cloud Computing is a technology where
data is outsourced and stored in a secure environment (the cloud) and
then provided as a service online, either by subscription or on a pay on
demand basis to customers,” A major benefit of cloud computing is the
flexible, on-demand model that allows enterprises to rapidly acquire
additional computing power only when needed.
However, this presents significant
security and audit challenges. Today's regulations require a complete
audit trail when demonstrating identity and security compliance. The
service offers flexibility, allowing users to add, remove, downgrade
and/or upgrade resources’ ease of use and ability to start up right
away.
