How to Evolve your Data Center with Cloud?

Automated Customers are looking for end to end automation of cloud service delivery to achieve

greater returns.

Provisioning: key, but just one of many steps that must be automated

Standardized Deliver “services”: repeatable process, controlled, simplified consumption, auditable

Flexible Each customer has unique requirements to integrate with existing data center

processes and tools.
