SUSE OPENSTACK CLOUD ENABLES YOU TO MANAGE MIXED HYPERVISOR CLOUD ENVIRONMENTS.

Now You Can with SUSE OpenStack CloudBuilt for the needs of today’s most agile federal agencies, SUSE OpenStack Cloud is an automated cloud computing platform that lets you rapidly deploy and easily manage Infrastructure-as-a-Service private clouds. SUSE OpenStack Cloud is based on the OpenStack and Crowbar open source projects and backed by SUSE engineering and support. It helps your enterprise to improve resource utilization and speed delivery of IT services across a secure, compliant and fully supported cloud environment.

Respond FasterYour agency needs to respond quickly to new federal initiatives and the increasing demand for services that foster public participation. How can your IT department keep pace? By building a dynamic and flexible enterprise-ready cloud infrastructure using SUSE OpenStack Cloud.

Using the SUSE OpenStack Cloud self-service and workload standardization capabilities, you can automate the time-consuming processes needed to provision new services. In addition to rapidly delivering the required computing resources, SUSE OpenStack Cloud can help you meet rigorous federal security standards and rein in costs.

The Rapid Innovation You Want, Backed by the Enterprise Support You Need As cloud computing technologies continue to evolve, the solutions you invest in need to keep pace. At the same time, your private cloud needs to be stable and secure, so you can sleep at night. That’s the power of SUSE OpenStack Cloud. The OpenStack project coupled with our 20-year proven history of commercializing open source products for private and public use makes SUSE OpenStack Cloud the right choice for you.

Because of the openness of SUSE OpenStack Cloud and the vibrant community of technology leaders contributing to the OpenStack project, you have access to a continuous stream of innovation.

With the open APIs of SUSE OpenStack Cloud, you can also easily integrate many third-party solutions to further enhance your private cloud.

SUSE OpenStack Cloud provides you a roadmap for tomorrow—and the on-demand support you need today. Enterprises have increasingly deployed multiple hypervisors in their data centers to optimize workload performance, while lowering licensing costs. SUSE OpenStack Cloud provides support for multiple hypervisors, so you can maintain the flexibility of your mixed hypervisor environment and maximize your previous technology budget.

SUSE OpenStack Cloud includes 24x7 worldwide technical support and is fully integrated into SUSE update processes. That means you can easily maintain and patch cloud deployments: both the components of SUSE OpenStack Cloud and the underlying SUSE Linux Enterprise Server systems that make up the cloud. Simply put, SUSE OpenStack Cloud is the open source private cloud solution you can rely on today and tomorrow.

SUSE OPENSTACK CLOUD CAN RAPIDLY DELIVER THE ESSENTIAL COMPUTING RESOURCES YOU NEED TO MEET NEW AND EVOLVING FEDERAL REQUIREMENTS.

Maximize Your Budget CyclesDeploying a private cloud on your own is hard work. It is complex. It can take a lot of time just to set up and manage a basic cloud. With SUSE OpenStack Cloud, you can have your cloud up and running in hours not days.

By integrating the Crowbar project with OpenStack, SUSE OpenStack Cloud simplifies the deployment and ongoing administration of your physical cloud infrastructure. Crowbar eases the pain of installation by providing a logical, streamlined process for setting up SUSE OpenStack Cloud. And SUSE OpenStack Cloud still provides you with the maximum flexibility to take advantage of the configuration options of OpenStack to meet your specific needs. By reducing the complexity of cloud installation and management with SUSE OpenStack Cloud, you can immediately benefit from your move to the cloud.

Reduce Your Future Operational and Capital ExpensesVirtualization has helped you dramatically improve server utilization rates and made it easier to deploy workloads as VMs. Now you face a new problem: VMs continuing to consume data center resources after they are no longer in use. This VM sprawl hurts utilization.

In addition to a lengthy approval process, the often manual, imprecise task of provisioning VMs consumes your IT staff’s valuable time. By deploying a private cloud with SUSE OpenStack Cloud, you can orchestrate a more efficient data center—keeping your IT costs under control.

By tracking the usage of computing resources and automating service delivery, SUSE OpenStack Cloud dramatically improves server utilization. With SUSE OpenStack Cloud you can monitor the activities and capacity of the cloud infrastructure to ensure optimal deployment and maximize computing resources. Also, authorized agency

personnel can easily deprovision VMs when they are done using them through the SUSE OpenStack Cloud self-service portal—reducing VM server sprawl and freeing computing capacity. By automating, optimizing, and simplifying the provisioning of computing resources with SUSE OpenStack Cloud your agency can get more use out of the servers they have without over-investing in capacity.

By automating service deployment and management tasks, you can decrease the number of IT staff needed to manage many servers. This also improves productivity because your IT staff can focus on managing the overall infrastructure and delivering public-facing services rather than managing individual VMs. Using SUSE OpenStack Cloud, you can become your organization’s cloud service provider by developing and delivering services faster and more accurately—for greater agility and fiscal responsibility.
