Cloud without design is just fog.™
- Are you getting pressure to address cloud computing?
- Are you considering cloud but you think it is too risky?
- Are you having difficulties determining which applications to move because you can’t define what application workloads and interdependencies are best suited to cloud computing?
Adaptivity’s Cloud Accelerator™ can help you answer these and other questions.
Moving to the cloud requires a thorough understanding of the business and application environment you want to move. Business requirements and workload characteristics are critical to defining the proper cloud model and cloud sizing.
Solution: Cloud Accelerator™ is a decision support tool to intelligently design a purpose built cloud solution (internal or external) that is both IT efficient and business effective. An easy to walk through framework provides guidance to define a future-state operating platform blueprint with a fit-for-purpose infrastructure foot print leveraging an expert knowledgebase and design algorithms.
Eliminate the guess work of designing business-optimized platforms for applications, which will reduce sprawl, contain costs and risk, while allowing the organization to react quickly to changes in business need.
What: A decision support tool that provides a solid foundation to create a workload consumption profile, which is translated into design requirements and ultimately an infrastructure platform bill of materials.
How: The Cloud Accelerator’s algorithms bridge across two sets of requirements, business (growth, cost, and agility) and technical (resource consumption characteristics) to make intelligent design decision choices.
Who: IT professions seeking to deliver repeatable and superior platforms:
- IT Architects
- IT Engineers
- Application Owners
- Enterprise Architecture Professionals
Cloud Accelerator™ enables you to define requirements and make the right cloud decision. This automated and repeatable software-based solution can generate accurate and specific solution recommendations within minutes of getting started. Powered by an industry-unique cloud decision and sizing engine that removes the guesswork of figuring out which applications can or should move to the cloud and then properly sizing the cloud environment, Cloud Accelerator™ calculates the most optimal footprint for your applications within that Cloud delivery model. This means you only purchase and utilize what you actually need.
Benefits:
- Cloud Readiness: Assess the most suitable cloud solution for an application so that investments are aligned to business needs.
- Avoid a “One Size Fits All” Approach: Customize reference applications workload profiles to align to the right type of cloud infrastructure.
- Designs Based on Reality: Enable IT professionals to design future state based upon how their applications are currently deployed and used.
- Predictable Results: Reality based metrics can be used as a baseline for future state designs.
- Purpose Built Design: Manage the complexity of multiple design constraints when creating platforms that are tuned to the workload.
- Enterprise Standardized Designs: Reduce the combinations of HW & SW that cause platform proliferation, reducing cost and risk.
- Better design through shared expertise: leverage institutional knowledge effectively, with a guided multi-role workflow.
