BALANCING INNOVATION WITH IT VISIBILITY
AND
CONTROL
Development and engineering teams are some of the largest consumers of cloud
and transient resources. As developers test applications or IT systems, they
need to quickly spin up virtual machines and other resources while controlling
costs. In many cases, they wind up building their own servers outside the control
of IT.
Because end-users can deploy complex applications to public cloud platforms,
this can lead to mismanagement of resources, server sprawl, and servers
vulnerable to network and cyber-attacks. Some users can become mired in
complexity as they attempt to provision resources, while IT teams can lose
visibility and control over those resources if a process in the workflow fails.
Moreover, IT administrators and end users are challenged by what seems like
an infinite number of choices that must be made before they can successfully
launch and provision cloud resources and services in most public clouds.
HYBRID CLOUD MANAGEMENT
Azure Stack provides a way for enterprises to have an on-premises version of
the public cloud user experience available for any hybrid cloud initiatives they
have. Workloads can be running where they are best suited for the enterprise.
As enterprises adopt new technologies and services from many providers, they
will have to deal with complexity.
Many enterprise customers are increasingly looking to shift workloads from their data centers to
public cloud platforms such as Azure, which provide a specific set of templates to ensure the smooth
operation of workflow processes. If an enterprise is currently using Microsoft Office 365 solutions
and SharePoint, the shift to Azure is even more compelling.
