Simplify and Automate IT Operations Management
Blending private and public cloud offerings to create a hybrid cloud infrastructure can bring tremendous benefits to organizations. With hybrid clouds, companies can take advantage of the security and control of a private cloud, while benefitting from the low cost and flexibility of public cloud options.
In reality, many of today’s hybrid cloud environments are vulnerable to expensive public cloud outages that can undermine customer trust, and often find the manual processes and poor management tools of private clouds drive up costs. You can find powerful tools to fix these problems in VMware’s robust vRealize Operations suite, but adapting its functionality to your company’s precise needs can pose a substantial challenge.
OnX developed our vRealize Operations Consulting program to give organizations a documented, well-thought-out methodology for getting the most from their investments in vRealize.
