Productive Infrastructure and Predictable Applications
Like many companies today, yours may be looking to transition existing datacenter infrastructure (primarily physical and virtualized environments) to private cloud deployments and to deliver Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) to your business. While taking full advantage of the innovations that the cloud offers, you must continue to deliver applications reliably and optimize usage of your existing investments. System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2012 extends what you know and own today, and enables you to deliver flexible and cost-effective infrastructure solutions taking a service-centric approach.
System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2012 helps you extend your existing datacenter investments and skill sets to deliver IaaS today.
Pooling and dynamic allocation of datacenter resources. With System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2012, you can pool and virtualize your compute, network, and storage resources, thus setting up the datacenter fabric for allocation across business units. These resources can span multiple datacenters, infrastructures (such as Microsoft and VMware), and service providers. You can even provision bare metal servers to a Hyper-V cluster. This improves datacenter efficiencies, helping to increase the return on investment on existing assets while reducing the expense of managing isolated point-solutions.
Flexible delegation with control. You can use System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2012 to allocate pooled datacenter resources to logically distinct clouds that align with the IT goals of your business units. For example, business requirements might dictate that a marketing IT cloud have a different service level than a finance IT cloud. Business unit and central datacenter administrators can work together to define the characteristics, including SLAs and sizing which their application owners need.
Enable infrastructure self-service. System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2012 helps improve the agility of your business unit IT stakeholders by enabling role-based selfservice access to datacenter resources.
