July 8, 2011 - PRLog -- Albany, NY, July 5, 2011 – Linium, HP Elite Partner, Announces Comprehensive Cloud Solutions
Melanie Worth, Vice President of Linium Optimize Technology Services (www.linium.com), recently announced details for a comprehensive cloud technology optimization (CTO) solution. Linium’s CTO leverages HP Service Manager 9.21 and SRC 1.0 and is specifically designed to help organizations tackle the intimidating effort of implementing a comprehensive cloud solution. According to Worth, “In a recent cloud implementation survey - 70% of respondents have had to rethink or redirect initial deployments. Our CTO offering is designed to help our clients avoid this pitfall.”

Constraining and defining the role of cloud computing in any organization is a critical first step before designing and building your cloud.  According to Sean Caron, Linium’s Senior Solutions Architect, “Any cloud effort involves a wide range of groups — producing it, operating it, and consuming it. Identifying all those who will be impacted, whether they are initially engaged or brought in later, will help prevent surprises along the way for all concerned. That’s where Linium can help in the process to determine how the cloud will interact with the rest of the data center environment. Are there shared management tools? Security requirements? Compliance rules? Or is your cloud an island? This process will also require thinking beyond the data center. Will you be leveraging public cloud resources, as well? As organizations answer these questions, they will need to define the requirements, outline the different options, identify the costs associated with delivering each option, and create an implementation plan.”

Linium’s CTO prescriptive approach will quickly establish a robust and scalable cloud-computing environment that delivers tangible business value with reduced risk. Solution features include:  Pre-Implementation Support
(Business Value Development and Awareness Services, Organization Change planning, Product Support and Demonstrations), Strategy & Planning Workshops (Cloud Initiative -Evaluation and Architecture, Recommendation for Public, Private or Hybrid, Service Catalog Design, Process and Technology Gap Analysis, Roadmap to Cloud), Technology Solution  (Private, Public, Hybrid and/or Heterogeneous, BTO Automation -OO, SA, NA, BTO Operations - Service Catalog, SM, AM, BSM, etc., Universal CMDB, HP CSA v2,
Chargebacks, Financials), and Business Solutions (Launch Pad, Adoption, Cloud Audit).
