In a single platform, RightScale brings the concepts of governance, billing, access control, configuration management and automation to cloud computing infrastructure. One of Australia’s biggest companies has chosen RightScale to help it create a hybrid cloud onto which over 500 applications will be migrated. Whether you only use AWS or multiple clouds, RightScale provides a framework to get the agility benefits of cloud computing whilst retaining corporate IT controls. In this webinar, you’ll learn how we make this possible: Software-defined infrastructure: how RightScale elevates your infrastructure architecture to a layer outside of your cloud provider, which inherently enables application mobility and scalability Self-service IT: Expose a cloud service catalogue within an enterprise portal, allowing self-service provisioning for application owners. Increase visibility: Gain management and cost reporting for your complete environment, across regions, clouds, availability zones and across AWS accounts. Control changes to your cloud.
