DynamicOps Expands Cloud Automation Center with Advanced Intelligent Resource Management

BURLINGTON, Mass., Feb. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- DynamicOps, pioneer of the Operations Virtualization™ platform that enables unified cloud automation and management, today announced a major intelligent resource management enhancement to the DynamicOps Cloud Automation Center: the industry's only user-aware self-service VM reconfiguration capability. Now, DynamicOps customers can automate and streamline ongoing VM management and, as a result, cut ongoing management service delivery from days to minutes.

In stark contrast to other cloud solutions, DynamicOps' new VM reconfiguration feature makes it easy to boost resource efficiencies throughout their lifecycle by combining broad self-service and automation capabilities with granular governance.

"To get the best ROI from cloud computing, enterprises need to tightly control resources while also providing more flexibility and autonomy for users," said Chad Jones, VP of Strategy and Product Management, DynamicOps. "Our new capability gives IT the ability to drive much more efficient resource utilization while providing users with the choice they need to do their jobs. We're enabling enterprises to move far beyond the partial automation that other cloud vendors offer by enforcing granular governance with policies instead of people."

"Cloud automation should address more than initial provisioning," said Donna Scott, VP and Distinguished Analyst, Gartner. "Enabling delegation of ongoing management functions such as resource reconfiguration is an essential component of any private, hybrid or public cloud service. This improves customer satisfaction as well as overall service delivery efficiencies, while assuring enterprise policies are enforced based on governance set by cloud administrators."

Reconfigure VM Resources On-the-Fly
DynamicOps offers the industry's only self-service VM reconfiguration capability with built-in granular governance. Now, end users can add or decrease memory allocation, virtual CPU count, disks, disk capacity and networks on-the-fly, all without intervention by—or waiting for—IT staff.

By leveraging user-aware governance, IT can create policies upfront that dictate everything from who is allowed to reconfigure VMs, which machine types they can reconfigure, and how many resources they can consume per machine type, to which pool of resources will be tapped and whether approvals are required. This helps enterprises retain control over resources and costs, while addressing the critical needs for self-service management and personalization of resources.

The VM reconfiguration feature is available as part of the DynamicOps Cloud Automation Center. For more information, click here.
