Enterprise IT Cloud Management | RightScale for Enterprise

Cloud Is Forcing Change. Let's Level Set.

Let’s be honest: The public cloud has fundamentally changed what it means to have agile Enterprise IT. Expectations are changing fast because business lines and developers have experienced pay-as-you-go, on-demand provisioning using only a credit card. And now that they have, there is no turning back.

RightScale has played a big part in this progression. We have enabled these early adopters to work in the cloud in a secure, reliable, automated fashion. As cloud moves to the mainstream, companies are looking for enterprise-wide solutions. Enterprises need a better strategy to achieve the full potential of the public cloud and to be prepared for the quick rise of the internally managed private cloud. RightScale is leading the charge in helping Enterprise IT to implement a strategy to become cloud-enabled and agile. Follow us on an evolutionary path to the cloud that begins with traditional and virtualized data centers and leads toward efficient, elastic, and manageable application environments.

How do enterprises meet these new expectations of business agility and add value to the cloud adoption process? First, you need visibility into who is consuming resources across public and private clouds so that you can secure your resources and track usage. Second, you need cloud-enabled infrastructure for your data centers that provides on-demand, metered resource consumption. Third, you need simplified provisioning that allows you to manage these on-demand resources and existing VMs with approved, secure configurations. Fourth, you need application-aware infrastructure that is automated and elastic, reducing your management burden. Fifth, you should ensure that you have vendor freedom in a rapidly changing market. Taken together, this means that you spend less time maintaining your IT infrastructure and more time innovating and improving IT services.

Visibility

To get control you first need to see what is happening. RightScale provides a “single pane of glass” to view all of your public, private, and hybrid cloud resources. Manage all of your cloud credentials, users, firewalls, and SSH keys from a set of enterprise accounts. View all of your running servers, deployments, and resources from a single Dashboard. Keep everything organized with associated audit histories, usage logs, and costs.

Cloud-Enabled Infrastructure

Build a private cloud to deliver the same on-demand provisioning and metered pricing that the public cloud provides. Complement existing public cloud use or reduce IT leakage brought on by uncontrolled public cloud adoption. Explore RightScale myCloud Private and Hybrid Cloud.

Simplified Provisioning

How can an enterprise successfully support a half-dozen custom cloud deployment systems? VM sprawl has made managing a service catalog daunting enough. Leverage the RightScale configuration framework to provide a set of standardized configuration and provisioning offerings to your businesses and teams. Then simply layer your custom Chef, Puppet, or RightScript™ configurations on top of our provisioning engine. Maintain the agility that the business requires while delivering a level of standardization that operations needs.

Application-Aware Infrastructure

The cloud has the ability to make your IT infrastructure elastic. But without automation, elastic infrastructure requires constant hands-on management. With RightScale, systems administrators can focus on innovation rather than maintenance. Automate your entire IT environment, managing systems rather than servers. Easily clone development environments in context for use in QA and production. Set up auto-scaling and alerts to handle demand changes and server failures across data centers and clouds. Automate backups and recovery scenarios for your environments while maintaining complete customization options and control.

Vendor Freedom

The IT environment is changing fast. Leave your options open. RightScale abstracts your infrastructure from specific hardware, cloud providers, and hypervisors. Continue to use what you are used to — hardware, hypervisors, operating systems, software, monitoring, and configuration systems — while leaving your options open. RightScale is built to be complementary to your existing and future investments.
