Automated Provisioning

For Faster Application Response

The explosion of virtualization technologies across most corporate data centers has added a new degree of complexity to infrastructure management. Manual intervention is still required to request a virtual machine, submit the appropriate specifications, locate the appropriate resource, and then physically bring up the VM on the hardware. In addition, the implementation of virtualization technologies creates ‘virtual server sprawl' with far more logical servers to administer and support.

To extract real value from a VM implementation, and ensure that application user requirements are met, organizations need an automated solution that can drive provisioning actions across physical and virtual resources based on the application metrics users care about.

The Challenge: Optimizing Virtual Resource Performance

Reliance drives the provisioning of physical and virtual resources based on a wide range of application performance data. In this way, Reliance makes decisions based on the needs of the application (and thus the end user) rather than the constraints of the static infrastructure.

How It Works

Reliance monitors the application infrastructure, gathers and analyzes detailed performance metrics, and then drives appropriate provisioning actions based on these metrics to meet established customer SLAs.

Integrating with a wide range of existing systems management, IT operations management, database and other technologies, Reliance consumes, analyzes, and generates real-time intelligence from massive volumes of data to identify performance-based root-cause problems. Reliance then interacts with existing virtualization and provisioning tools to automatically adjust capacity in order to avoid or rectify the identified problem.
