2. Towards the tipping point to dynamic IT
IT provisioning processes not fast IT provisioning processes not
and efficient enough to achieve agile enough to support frequently
sufficient time-to-market for IT changing business requirements.
services.
Users demand more dynamic use of IT infrastructure, but IT operations
can't deliver because they struggle to manage the increasing complexity.

3. The virtualization management gap
 VM sprawl
 Servers, storage
and network affected
 Additional management
tools required
 Multiple hypervisor
environments
Closing the increasing virtualization management gap requires
to rethink traditional data center management approaches.

4. The way forward – IT Infrastructure Orchestration
More use of automation technology for provisioning
processes across servers, storage and network
IT Infrastructure orchestration software paves the way
to more dynamic use of IT resources.

5. ServerView Resource Orchestrator (ROR)
Increase service delivery agility
Fast, flexible and easy provisioning
of IT infrastructure resources within
minutes instead of hours, days or
weeks at a fraction of the operating
expenses required with traditional
provisioning approaches.
Protect the continuity of IT services
Various cost-efficient high-availability
options deliver a reliable IT
infrastructure.

7. Resource abstraction
The logical server concept
 On-screen definition of all
resources required for a server
 Based on pre-defined templates
 Same look & feel for physical
and virtual systems
 Same look & feel for different
hypervisors
Benefits
Hides the complexity of the
underlying IT-infrastructure
ROR simplifies access to IT-infrastructure.
