Cloud Orchestration

 

Take to the Clouds to deliver a new World of Services

 

Cloud Computing has opened up new opportunities for the CSPs to expand their services and products. The new horizons are unlimited, especially among the long established brand leaders, who are now able to offer XaaS (Anything-as-a-Service). Cloud Computing provides an entirely new business model that enterprises can leverage to bring a host of new offerings to market. New applications for their users, better service to customers, lower costs and faster time to revenue are just some of the benefits.

 

Cloud computing amplifies the requirement for a services and product catalogue solution and also amplifies complexity. As a Cloud Service Broker/Aggregator, the CSP must be able to manage with simplicity the creation of new product offerings built upon resources and services from many third party providers, including IaaS, SaaS and DbaaS.  This requires the ability to rapidly and confidently combine service offerings into new entities, which include assurance and charging components. These, in turn, allow the CSP to maintain and monetize the brokered product offering.

 

A recognised brand-name CSP is the natural choice to play the role of aggregator in the delivery of cloud services. By leveraging open standards frameworks, CSPs can create a functional model to offer X-as-a-service (XaaS), treating the cloud services in a similar fashion to their existing services. With VAZIR Catalogue, CSPs can undertake service interaction across resources, services and products, and effect full lifecycle management across all layers, from ideation, development and deployment, through to assurance, billing and retirement of the offerings. With VAZIR Catalogue, multi-tenant, multi-element cloud orchestration really is possible.
