February 17, 2010 (FPRC) -- Incontinuum Software, leading provider of management software for the automation and control of hands-free delivered managed services in Private and Public Clouds, announced InContinuum’s CloudController® to become the key application technology component for Computek's enterprise infrastructure management offering and available to their customers immediately.
Computek selects CloudController®
Computek, a leading South African company that delivers turnkey ICT solutions to clients in government, public and private sector organizations, selected CloudController for its broad server virtualization platform support, extensive back-office automation, secure transaction technology, simple agent-less implementation, support of both private and public cloud environments, and multi-tenancy user hierarchy and role definitions.
As part of Computek's products and services portfolio that delivers cost effective management of cloud computing environments customer will benefit by using CloudController for design and automation of their own cloud-based managed services and by being able to offer their organizations hands-free order processing, deployment and management of VMs from any cloud infrastructure.
“Computek has selected InContinuum because it is clear that InContinuum understands the technical and business issues that customers in enterprise-class cloud computing environments are facing,” said Harry Chakhala, CEO, Computek. “Managing a virtual data center to be ‘cloud-ready’ is more than just managing the infrastructure. The whole business process side of the equation needs to just as automated in order to deliver managed services from a VDC. InContinuum delivers that with CloudController,” adds Chakhala.
In addition to automating the management of a cloud infrastructure, Computek customers will be able to utilize CloudController’s business process automation back office technology to enable the key non-technical functions required to deliver cloud-based managed services such as configuration management, order processing, payment (or chargeback) processing, and contract management.
“InContinuum is proud to be partnering with Computek to enable its customers to automate and control the design, deployment and management of both public and private clouds,” said Phillip Hyde, founder and CEO of InContinuum. “InContinuum’s novel approach for the CloudController technology simplifies management of cloud–based resources. Through the Computek and InContinuum partnership, enterprises will see a dramatic reduction in the TCO for managing their VDCs.”
CloudController® - The Solution for cloud-based Managed Services
Corporate IT departments who already rely upon virtualization and those enterprises who are ready to take the plunge into virtualization technologies have the requirement to make more efficient use of their investment in virtualized data center infrastructure in support of their applications. They need a seamless way to integrate their customer-facing and IT operations management to their back office to gain operational efficiency.
CloudController technology simplifies management of cloud–based resources by allowing all levels of users in any organization from the IT administrator on down to the resource end-user to quickly configure, provision, deploy, manage, modify and monitor public and private clouds as it pertains to their intended use of the resources.
For users in a public cloud managed services environment, CloudController supports multi-tier hierarchical set-up, distribution and use of cloud resources. Private cloud users benefit from the ability to map roles in their IT organization to CloudController, thus automating a broad range of operations management functions. Core to CloudController is a complete back office for payment processing, internal charge-back, support, localization, operations management and deployment.
CloudController is generally available for VMware ESX, vSphere and Citrix XenServer. Support for Microsoft Hyper-V and other platforms will be available later in 2010.
