The process of provisioning enterprise application Virtual Landscapes on FlexPod™ can be fully automated using the eCloudManager, enabling enterprises to drive IT innovation and rapidly respond to new business needs.
In order to be able to deliver enterprise apps as standardized services in a secure and rapid fashion, the eCloudManager platform enables
- lightweight application lifecycle management and
- a fully automated process for requesting, approving, deploying, updating and retiring complete multi-tiered multi-system enterprise app landscapes.
This is achieved through the integration and monitoring of the entire FlexPod stack (storage, hypervisor, physical blades, network) and application stack, and through the utilization of native storage and hypervisor features.
Virtual Landscape Provisioning on FlexPod – How Does It Work?
Through the one-time definition of a Master Virtual Landscape (VL) and the implementation of a Virtual Landscape Manager, a landscape’s network and system configurations can be monitored efficiently and replicated 100 times faster than the standard manual provisioning and configuration. This means that new landscapes can be created with zero-configuration effort because the Virtual Landscape Manager holds the accumulated know-how of the optimal enterprise app VL environment as to storage, network and system connections; this configuration is then replicated with each new VL, ensuring that they run as desired from the get-go.
