Quick Time to Value

It’s Cheap• Cost competitive pricing against other Cloud provisioning solutions.• Special MSP pricing models, ASL licensing, perpetual license or monthly rental.• Pricing promotion thru to November 2012, 50% discount, $125/RVU.• Upto x2.5 cheaper than VMware (cost comparison with vCloud Director).

Highly Automated – Optimise your staff costs• Requires less administrators to manage the environment.• Designed for low-touch operations and administration – reduces manual effort.• Highly automated, self-healing, and instant recovery of the cloud management.

Easy to Deploy – Time to Value• Can be deployed in just a few hours.• New resources added to the Cloud are automatically configured and ready in under 5 mins.

Fast to Learn• Use commodity skills to learn, manage and deploy – get upto speed very quickly.

Powerful Cloud Automation

Powerful Pattern Deployment• Powerful drag-and-drop UI to design e-business patterns.• Deployment for complex PaaS environments in just a few clicks.• Integrated activation engine image automation.

Multi-Tenancy Support• MSP & CSP ready with network and presentation separation.• Service catalog for IaaS and PaaS offerings.• Quota management for VMs, templates, IP, storage.

Advanced Lifecycle Image Management• Unique set of image management capabilities to design, build and manage image sprawl.• Image conversion capabilities to move between hypervisors and image formats (raw, ovf).• Image construction and composition tool (ICCT) to build standardised images.• Automated image indexing supporting file/byte comparisons within images.

Easy to Migrate & On-board• Can easily manage existing VMware deployments by managing through vCenter.

Non-stop Cloud

Ultra FAST Provisioning• x10+ times faster VMware.• Can start a single VM and load OS in under 10 seconds.• Can start 100 VMs in under 3 mins.• Can go from a bare metal server to ready for work in under 5 mins.• Can make an entire IBM blade chassis (BCH 14 blades) ready for cloud in less than 6 mins.

Highly Scalable & Efficient• Designed with distributed architecture for extreme scalability and parallel operation.• Can scale upto millions+ of VMs using HSLT architecture “High Scale”.• Efficient use of images, only storing master copies and the delta changes.• Uses “copy-on-write” technology to move data back & forward (moves only the data you change).

Continuous Operations• Designed for reliable cloud operations – “Low touch”.• Quickly recover from failures dramatically simplifies patch, image and change management .• Can apply updates without taking the Cloud down.• Servers added, removed, updated without taking the environment off-line.

Customer Deployment ScenariosDisaster Recovery of IaaS & PaaS

Problem: Customer wants DR capability for IaaS for the provision of 200 machines within an SLA of 60 mins. Typically this is done by having dedicated hardware on warm/cold standby.

Benefit: SCP means that we do not need dedicated hardware, but just ensuring we have sufficient total capacity available. This increases our utilisation rates / improves costs.

Rapid service delivery of IaaS & PaaS

Benefit: SCP Allows us to provide a new level of responsiveness and agility that customers are finding extremely beneficial to them, and driving more revenue for us. (It’s a differentiator)Problem: Customers want to respond quickly to business events, and need to provision new server resources in a few minutes.

Partner Reseller Model

Benefit: SCP supports a reseller model where presentation UI can be branded, quotas set for soft limits and dedicated resources can be assigned to support delivery for different partners.Problem: Business partners don’t want to own idle capacity, but do want to scale up quickly to respond to their customer needs.

Development of Sharepoint Services

Benefit: SCP allow DC to offer Sharepoint PaaS images that can not only be provided quickly, but with regular versioning on images for snapshots. This offers a huge cost saving to the customer and improved agility.Problem: One of customers uses high end laptops for the development of Sharepoint sites for its customers – due to their hardware & storage constrained IT environment.
