Enterprise Cloud Infrastructure

Managing a hybrid enterprise cloud is a complicated matter. As IT teams seek to align cloud resources with the needs of specific workloads, organizations frequently adopt multiple cloud solutions, creating a chaotic and complex management environment. To overcome this hurdle, organizations must find ways to unify and simplify their hybrid cloud environments.

By adopting a solution for management consistency, enterprises can:

• Increase management efficiency by reducing time wasted on swivel-chair workflows and reducing the number of FTEs required to manage enterprise cloud technology.
• Accelerate time-to-market and increase the pace of innovation by simplifying operations and enhancing productivity.
• Reduce risk exposure by providing administrators with greater visibility into enterprise cloud infrastructure and workload placement.
• Improve workload mobility by providing administrators with more efficient processes, familiar tools and models for application deployments and migrations.
• Reduce the cost of development by enabling developers to build for one environment and optimizing applications for unified infrastructure platform.

What is enterprise cloud computing?

Enterprise cloud computing is an enterprise IT environment that incorporates a mix of public, private and edge clouds to best serve the needs of the business. Enterprise cloud computing provides the agility and flexibility to choose where specific workloads run to optimize performance and reduce costs. 

What are the challenges of managing a hybrid enterprise cloud?

Because an enterprise cloud may use resources from public, private and edge cloud platforms, the management of cloud resources can be complex and chaotic. Each platform has its own set of tools and processes, and migrating workloads between platforms can be time-consuming and complicated. 

How does Dell Technologies Cloud simplify management?

By providing consistent management and orchestration tools for virtualized and containerized environments across a hybrid enterprise cloud, Dell Technologies Cloud simplifies operations, improves cloud economics and significantly increases productivity.
