BASKING RIDGE, N.J. and
BOSTON, Nov. 23, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Verizon Enterprise
Solutions, a global communications technology provider, and
VMTurbo, the only application performance control system for the
software-defined data center, today announced Verizon Intelligent
Cloud Control, powered by VMTurbo , to help Verizon customers
migrate workloads to the ideal public cloud service based on an
enterprise's performance and resource requirements.
Unlike existing cloud brokerage solutions that manually
recommend workload placement to public cloud service providers
(CSPs), Intelligent Cloud Control enables Verizon customers to take
advantage of software to drive real-time, automatable, price,
performance and compliance-based placements. It also allows sizing
and configuration decisions to deploy and migrate workloads to and
among CSPs.
"Building our joint vision of Intelligent Cloud Control with
Verizon has enabled us to take VMTurbo's core capabilities to its
logical extreme – enabling automatable, real-time decisions on
where to provision workloads between competing cloud providers to
ensure a high quality, low cost service," said Endre Sara, vice president, advanced solutions
of VMTurbo. "Intelligent Cloud Control is different from cloud
broker or manager programs on the market today in that it factors
in application performance in real-time along with CSP price to
determine the best cloud resources for every workload."
Intelligent Cloud Control benefits users since they will be able
to:
- Control public cloud workloads through a single Verizon
interface
- Budget and control public cloud spend to help avoid billing
surprises
- Help assure the performance and compliance of workloads beyond
CSP-specific cloud monitoring.
"In listening to our customers, we realized they require a
better way to manage their risk when moving to the public cloud,"
said Victoria Lonker, director of
enterprise networking for Verizon. "With Verizon's Intelligent
Cloud Control, we are removing the complexities and myriad
trade-offs between price, performance and compliance in various
public cloud services and enabling them to focus instead on the
applications and services that their end-users demand all within a
secure environment."
Verizon Intelligent Cloud Control powered by VMTurbo will launch
during the first quarter of 2016. Initially the service will
include connections to Amazon Web Services, IBM SoftLayer and
Microsoft Azure.
This new solution provides the perfect complement to Verizon's
Secure Cloud Interconnect service. To learn more about the joint
solution and to become a part of the conversation, join the Green
