Editor's Notes
- #2: Welcome to Elastra’s technology series of Webinars.Today’s topic is Modeling the next generation Data Center.
- #3: A little bit of background about Elastra;Founded in 2007. Private—funded by Amazon, Bay Partners, Hummer Winblad Venture PartnersWe just released our Enterprise Cloud Server for General Availability on Nov 17 of this year
- #4: A quick overview of what we do and where Elastra’s solution are used:Elastra automates the modeling of virtualized application resourcesWe streamline application provisioning with reusable bundlesAnd enforce IT policy through directory integration Use the Elastra solutions to build Self-service portals for internal IT and for business unit peersProvision servers quickly and with fewer errors for any application deploymentTightly define roles and usage rights for models, bundles and provisioning accessFederated Clouds are a mixture of Public and Private cloud computing environments. As an example, Elastra supplies provisioning solutions for Amazon EC2.Manage the entire virtualized computing landscape with Elastra ECS
- #5: One of our customers said it best:“Elastra closes the loop on virtualized infrastructure management.”We extend the promise of virtualized environments by adding dynamic intelligence to the application provisioning and management layer.
- #6: As an example, one of our customers, a large international TelcoWanted to allow their end-users access to a application infrastructure provisioning systemUsing Elastra they build a Self-service portal which freed-up much needed IT resources and dramatically raised service levels.Benefits:Faster service deliveryOptimization of IT resourcesResult: Both CapEx and OpEx savings through better resource management
- #7: Our next Webinar will be January 15, 2010Private Clouds are HereWe will discuss the benefits to Infrastructure and Operations of private cloudsHow to quickly add cloud management functionality to your existing frameworksAnd adding virtual computing environments to your Data Center can dramatically improve service levelsAnd now over to Peter Chiu for Modeling the Next Generation Data Center.
- #25: Sales pitch for the public ami at the end of the presentation that you can bring into Thought about leveraging amazon. Makes it more palatable
