Novell announced the availability of Cloud Manager, a product designed to enable customers to create and securely manage a cloud computing environment as an extension of existing data centre resources.
Cloud Manager is designed for heterogeneous IT environments which, the company said, gives customers the flexibility to create and manage private clouds regardless of the mix of hypervisors, operating systems and hardware platforms.
Pernod Ricard’s chief information officer of premium wine brands is Ryan Klose who was an early adopter of Cloud Manager. “Cloud Manager will simplify our IT service provisioning by enabling us to treat our physical resources and virtual infrastructure as a seamless private cloud and gain a much clearer and more granular understanding of our IT use and costs,” he said. “Our BIS infrastructure team can be more responsive to changing business priorities. Cloud Manager allows us to simplify and automate many of our business processes, accelerate IT service delivery, as well as provide visibility and cost-transparency to the business.”
