Cloud management is the management of cloud infrastructure using tools, framework and processes that typically include monitoring, notification, provisioning, orchestration, configuration management, capacity management, application performance management, incident/problem/change management, log management, security and compliance management, DevOps pipeline management and so on.
With effective cloud management, an organization achieves numerous benefits, including:
Organizations are increasingly adopting multi- cloud strategy for better resiliency, to reduce costs, bring new products and services to market more quickly and better serve their customers. But the lack of a suitable cloud management platform can make it difficult or impossible to meet these goals. An inability to find, much less manage, all the cloud resources consumed by various business units can lead to ballooning and, often, hidden costs not only for cloud services, but also for troubleshooting performance or reliability issues within them. An inability to discover, monitor and manage multiple clouds makes it harder to bring new applications and services to market more quickly with proper security and compliance with industry and government regulations.
An integrated cloud management platform (ICMP) can reduce these hurdles by providing greater visibility into and control over multiple cloud environments. An integrated “single pane of glass” provides greater optimization and security as the ever-changing mix of public, private and cloud services grows. Based on our client experiences, this unified integration and user-interface layer, along with associated workflows and best practices, can increase operational efficiency as much as 70%, cut one-third from the total cost of ownership of cloud management tools, and reduce the time required to provision technical infrastructure, from weeks to as little as an hour.
