The Alanata CloudManagement platform is a comprehensive tool for managing infrastructure environments designed primarily for medium to large customers.
For customers managing a larger number of virtual and containerized environments, it provides an end-to-end solution from establishing new environments, through resource optimization to reports and dashboards.
Key features of the solution are:
- Ability to manage the infrastructure environment down to the level of physical devices and disk arrays,
- Support for private environments as well as public and hybrid cloud solutions,
- Support for managing virtual servers,
- Support for containerized environments Kubernetes and OpenShift,
- Automatic AI-driven optimization of resource utilization and their allocation to VMs or containers according to their actual needs in real time in order to:
- Ensure performance: Proactively optimize the size of virtual machines, adjust the storage level and move workloads to avoid CPU, memory or IOPS overload before users feel it.
- Minimize costs: Autonomously reduce unused resources, identify and consolidate underutilized infrastructure, and provide specific recommendations for purchasing reserved instances or savings plans based on actual usage patterns.
- Maintain compliance: Ensuring that workloads remain on compliant infrastructure throughout their lifecycle and automatically move them if configurations deviate or new policies come into effect.
- Ability to manage accounts of public and private cloud solutions connected to your own environment (AWS, Azure, Google),
- Ability to automatically create new VMs and container environments,
- Intelligent monitoring of connected environments as well as their automatic mapping,
- Built-in dashboards,
- Optimization of operating costs and reports on saved resources from an infrastructure and financial perspective.
Added Value:
- Resource definition: A powerful orchestration tool that abstracts the complexity of different cloud providers and allows users to deploy resources with a single click. Ability to define and manage virtual servers in both private and public cloud environments, including their automated creation. Ability to set spending limits and approval processes to maintain full control over cloud consumption,
- SelfService Resource Catalog: Offers developers pre-approved IaaS, PaaS and application packages, ensuring speed and standardization.
- Full-stack observability: A unified view from the request in the self-service portal to the underlying physical or cloud infrastructure, including optimization actions performed in real time by Turbonomic.
- AlanataDashboards:
- Specialized dashboards using data from both IBM Turbonomic and custom application components,
- Specialized reports for top management focused on saved resources in relation to requirements,
- Environment analysis with optimization proposal with options for modernization as well as cost reduction.
- CloudManagement Portal: Custom portal solution for environment and requirements management.
