Cloud Services Hosting
Drive down the cost of managing cloud services infrastructure and leverage the benefits of virtualization
To support the growing demand for cloud services, IT departments are being forced to do more with less while at the same time being asked to support a complex set of business demands. Meanwhile, the inefficiencies of managing silos of servers, networking, and storage infrastructure are driving up administrative costs, which are expected to reach 63% of total IT spend by 2011 for servers alone (IDC 2008). Virtualization improves utillization and mobility, but only if physical resources are available and it can take weeks or months to provision or modify new hardware.
LiquidIQ is a fully integrated "cloud infrastructure in a box" that drives down the time, cost, and complexity of managing IT resources through unified software-based control of servers, storage, and networking. With LiquidIQ, provisioning times are reduced by up to 90%, enabling cloud service providers to fully leverage the benefits of virtualization by quickly expanding or modifying flexible physical resources in response to changes in demand. LiquidIQ can also be integrated with higher-level management solutions or virtualization management tools for automated provisioning of infrastructure.
Capabilities:
- Cloud infrastructure that can be quickly deployed and scaled "just in time" based on customer demand
- Simplified, unified software control of servers, networking, and storage
- Integration with higher-level management solutions or virtualization management tools to enable automated provisioning of infrastructure or hypervisors based on operating load
- Certified to support all major operating systems and hypervisors, including Microsoft Server 2003, 2008, Red Hat 5.1, and VMware ESXi 3.5 and 4.0
