Advanced cloud orchestration tools accelerate productivity for IT, ISVs and SIs
Deploying new cloud environments can be a time-consuming process. Administrators spend hours or days specifying the precise VM attributes, installing software, rebooting the machines, configuring the software and running scripts. In addition, this process is rife with opportunities for human error. What if a sub-optimal best practice configuration isn’t followed? How much time will be spent troubleshooting to find the root cause of the issue?
Cloud orchestration tools like Blueprints are designed to solve these issues. Each “template” offers a deployable configuration that can bring a new environment online in a couple of clicks. The end result? Custom apps and pre-packaged software are always deployed to their ideal settings, eliminating the misconfiguration and mismanagement.
The Blueprint Designer takes you step-by-step through the process.
Step 1: Name and Describe the Blueprint
This makes it easier you or others to browse and find the environment you're looking to create.
Step 2: Add and Configure Servers
From memory, cpu and storage amounts, to what software should be installed or scripts should be run can be defined.
Step 3: Tasks & Order
For sequential build outs, order each step of the deployment process.
Step 4: Review and Publish
Go back and edit things, or submit the blueprint for publishing to the blueprint library.
Step 5: Blueprint is Available For Use
Your blueprint is available in the Blueprint Library for account users to quickly and easily deploy infrastructure or software.
Browse Tier 3’s library of Blueprints and apply them when needed.
Share your Blueprint with others in your organization, any Tier 3 customer, or keep it to yourself.
Server provisioning, OS and software configuration, and application installation are all scripted into Blueprints. The orchestration software makes it easy for users to deploy solutions, reducing operational support costs and speeding time to implementation.
Check out the short Blueprints video to the right and see how easy it is to build, deploy and publish environments to the Tier 3 Enterprise Cloud Platform.
Common cloud environments (i.e. messaging and collaboration, or an ISV’s specific application) should be deployed consistently with best practices in mind. Yes, documentation and other materials can help, but these mechanisms don’t enforce adoption. With cloud orchestration tools like Blueprints, IT managers can easily design, deploy and adhere to best practices over and over again.
IT organizations strive to ensure that all production servers meet a certain standard. Easier said than done, since these standards encompass hardware specs, software versions, license maintenance, patch levels and security configurations. Blueprints, built with these standards in mind, solves this issue for IT.
