BMC Control-M for Cloud BMC Control-M Workload Automation
Virtualization & Cloud Computing Are Top Priorities Cloud Computing is a catalyst for improving IT maturity and moving virtualization to another level Copyright 2/11/2011 BMC Software, Inc 2
What is a Cloud? SaaS: Software for business end users - Windows Live (Hotmail), Google (Gmail, Picasa) - SalesForce.com - RemedyForce.com PaaS: Platform for application developers - Google AppEngine (Application Server) - Microsoft Azure (Storage, Database,.NET Application Server) - Amazon EBS (Storage) - Force.com (Database.com, Appforce, Siteforce, VMforce) IaaS: Infrastructure for IT Admin / Developers - Amazon EC2 - Microsoft Azure (Beta) Copyright 2/11/2011 BMC Software, Inc 3
Opportunities and Challenges Private cloud (virtualization) vs. public cloud considerations - Security & compliance - SLA & availability Empty inboxes in MSN Hotmail on 1/1/11 - Management Reduce costs - New hardware purchase to support business growth Increase utilization - Utilization of high-capacity servers supporting peak business periods Automation - Ad-hoc adjustments to support unplanned events Copyright 2/11/2011 BMC Software, Inc 4
BMC Control-M for Cloud v7.0 Utilization of internal and external cloud services to enable dynamic & real-time workload automation optimization - BMC BladeLogic - VMWare - Amazon EC2 Planned for Spring 2011 (Tentative) Copyright 2/11/2011 BMC Software, Inc 5
Key Vendors in Cloud Technologies BMC BladeLogic: Service Automation & Provisioning - Implement a policy-based server automation solution that ensures the highest uptime for business-critical services. Provisioning: Perform bare metal provisioning on new servers & re-provision OS on existing ones Configuration: Provision, patch, configure, and manage heterogeneous servers according to policy Compliance: Measure and demonstrate compliance with internal and external standards and regulations Server Virtualization: Manage your physical and virtual environments from a unified management platform VMWare: Private Cloud - The market leader of x86 server virtualization since 2001 - VMWare ESX & ESXi are bare-metal embedded Hypervisors that run directly on server hardware without requiring an additional underlying operating system Amazon EC2: Public Cloud - Considered to be the leading IaaS vendor in the market - Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) is a web service that provides resizable compute capacity in the cloud.
