IT conversations before automation….
Impact of Automation – Simplification of Manual Processes
IT automation is the linking of disparate systems and software in such a
way that they become self-acting or self-regulating.

Cloud is Driving Innovation
Cloud is accelerating innovation—The number of Applications
moving to IaaS is more than doubling each year.
“Respondents are satisfied that
virtualization is reducing data
center floor space, energy cost
and thermal output. However,
expectations for an overall
reduction in hardware capital
expenditure and increased
application deployment speed
and efficiency have not been
fully met”

What are the Next Steps …
1. VMware Solutions required to get started:
• vSphere + vCenter + vCenter Orchestrator
• vCloud Automation Center
• vFabric Application Director (hosted version for development available upon request)
2. Start with building:
• vCO plug-in: download the vCO Plug-in SDK
• Content for Application Director: blueprints, services, tasks and VM Templates
3. Expose your vCO plug-in to vCAC (optional)
• Requirement: partner solution must be a “consumable resource” for use by
business/consumers of IT services.
4. Publish your solution on VMware Solution Exchange
• An easy way for customers to find your solution and for you to get leads
5. Get your solution certified as VMware Ready
• Contact [email protected] or your VMware Alliance Manager for details
