Why Build Clouds When You Can Own One?

Cloud Developers Want:• Self-Serviceability• Programmability• Portability• Flexibility

Infra. Owner Challenges:• Complexity• Skillset Gaps• Time intensive• Expensive

• True "Cloud-scale" economics

• Predictable Capacity/Cost Planning

• Increase Staff Efficiency• Leverage Existing

Symphony Cloud Benefits

IT Benefits

• Hardware HeterogeneityLeverage your choice of hardware

• Straight-Forward Subscription ModelMonthly per-node

• Elastic Resource ProvisioningUse what’s needed, when needed

• Consolidation Under A Single Management Window

Aggregated and granular views of use and availability

• Linear Scale-OutDistributed services across the cluster

User Benefits

• Self ServiceFaster and predictable time to deployment; provision resources in minutes not weeks without IT involvement.

• Fully ProgrammableSoftware defined infrastructure means repeatable and testable deployments enabling modern dev/ops practices

• PortableBuilt / tear down and migrate / re-build applications across multiple cloud platforms without fear of lock-in – 100% OpenStack API compatable

• FlexibilityAbility to define customized OS / application and network requirements

Launching workloads, storage volumes,

networks, users and other features can be

done by DevOps teams thru OpenStack, Amazon

and Stratoscale APIs

Management processes and state are replicated

to every node in the cluster, so resources are not wasted on a single

management server

Software defined block storage that utilizes the disks inside a physical

server to act as a cluster wide SAN

Intelligent load balancing of workloads across physical hosts that

migrate 100% of the time, and in under

500ms

Bring your own hardware, and

mix/match SandyBridge Intel Processors or newer

Lower TCO

Single pane of glass for managing your entire infrastructure No dedicated management controllers/nodes means less worrying about infrastructure

uptime/availability Automatic policy-driven resource allocation

IT focuses on the applications and policies, rather than on the bits & bytes of infrastructure settings Full self-service capabilities for on-demand access

Provide your business with full IaaS capabilities, while ensuring governance through user quotas and policies

Lower TCO

Dramatically reduced hardware and software acquisition costs No SAN required (by using local DAS instead) No dedicated appliances - freedom to choose server hardware; mix-and-match configurations and No VMware required!!

Lower operational overhead via intelligent automation Real-time workload analytics ensures most optimized infrastructure at all times
