Innovative ‘IT as a Service’ Solutions Powered by fluid Operations

fluid Operations delivers an out-of-the-box solution for infrastructure and cloud monitoring, management and orchestration. The platform leverages semantic technologies and an in-memory database, and can integrate various resources, including enterprise storage, compute – physical and virtual, network, application, business resources – such as external CRM systems, ticketing systems, project and product catalogs, or any other data sources – or third party infrastructure management tools.

Based on the semantic integration of heterogeneous data sources and on its ability to fully automate processes across infrastructure and application layers and to also include IT project management tasks and workflows, the fluidOps platform provides an overview of the complete data center and delivers innovative ‘IT as a Service’ solutions. This allows enterprises to innovate their business processes and significantly reduce the TCO of their IT resources, improve IT efficiency and increase IT service quality.

End users can thus consume everything from desktops, to compute resources (Infrastructure as a Service), to storage resources (Storage as a Service), to enterprise application landscapes (Landscape as a Service), to service extensions (e.g. patches, customized reports, etc.) in a cloud-like manner, while significantly reducing the time usually spent on manual tasks.

• Semantic integration platform using open standards for innovative ‘IT as a Service’  solutions – consume Infrastructure as a Service, Storage as a Service, Landscape as a Service, and Data as a Service with one tool
• Single pane of glass to offer a complete view of your data center, from storage, to hypervisor, to application, to business resources – extensible database schema to allow for on-demand integration of complementary data sources
• Significant cost and time savings through automated operations – reduce and even completely eliminate manual tasks and processes
• IT intelligence, collaboration and semantic master data management – correlation of technical and business data, documentation, knowledge bases, reports and dashboards tailored to your needs
• Self-Service access to IT as a Service – consumption of IT services without any pre- or post-configuration steps, plus metering and billing information based on real cost calculation
• Application Orchestration – support for SAP, Microsoft, Oracle, Citrix, Active Directory, automated clone and post-clone operations
