Product overview

Managing private and hybrid clouds requires new management capabilities that need to be tightly

integrated to ensure operational efficiency, resource optimization, and high availability.

The underlying complexity and highly dynamic nature of cloud environments require solutions that

simplify operations and administration so the focus can be on service delivery, not building, integrating,

and maintaining a portfolio of disparate management tools. Enterprises should avoid cloud “tool sprawl,”

which requires separate tools for each different environment, platform, and service delivery model.

Red Hat® CloudForms provides unified cloud management that enables organizations to rapidly

transform their existing virtual infrastructures into highly scalable, private clouds as well as take

advantage of public cloud resources. CloudForms reduces the cost and complexity of private and hybrid

cloud infrastructures by delivering key management capabilities in a product that is quick-to-deploy

and easy-to-use.

CloudForms has enabled customers to deploy global private clouds, accelerate service delivery,

increase agility, improve service levels, and maximize resource efficiency.
