SmartCloud integrates the virtues of virtualization and the power of server automation to provide a unified and consistent deployment process for both physical and virtual servers. SmartCloud integrates these fundamental Private Cloud technologies with a database framework to provide a standardized, on-demand process control point for requesting, approving, creating, provisioning, monitoring, and decommissioning both physical and virtual machines. This integration provides efficiencies throughout the service delivery chain, yielding gains in center asset utilization and improving and expediting service delivery to end users. Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) is reduced across the entire process within the data center and the complexities of executing these functions becomes greatly simplified.

SmartCloud bridges the gaps between provisioning, implementation and maintenance and between bare metal hardware provisioning and server creation, between swift response and service delivery to standard and customized user requests, while maintaining consistency, optimizing efficiency, and leveraging low cost, commodity computing resources.

By integrating the most powerful virtualization and server automation technologies, SmartCloud provides a comprehensive process optimization solution, one that leverages not just part of the efficiencies that can be gained throughout the enterprise, but one that leverages all of them, yielding:

• Cost reduction and more efficient utilization of data center assets
• Expedited and efficient service delivery to end users
• Easier-to-use, faster, optimized processes and tools for those IT staff that create, deliver, manage and maintain infrastructure components

SmartCloud:

• Streamlines the process of provisioning servers through a simple end-user interface (portal) that provides a ticketing and approval process that allows a user to request the provisioning and/or decommissioning of servers from an established pool of resources.
• Integrates otherwise disjointed technologies such as virtualization, provisioning subsystems, server automation, and database frameworks. SmartCloud incorporates all of the various configuration elements of each of these technologies so that the user only need only enter minimal details to request a server.
• Provides a method to define a subset of resource configurations (such as disk space, memory, and cpu amounts) in a simplified menu to prevent misuse of resources and provide an easy process for the user to request resources.
• Allows for multiple groupings of virtualization settings, provisioning settings, and inventory items.
• Provide all of this in a modular, web-based, shopping cart system where all configuration elements are controllable through a web-browser interface.
