Session Title:

Self-Service and Workflow Automation for the Private Cloud

Session Abstract:

The Private Cloud offers the promise of quick and easy application and infrastructure provisioning, driving business agility and efficiency. However, unrestricted access can result in virtual sprawl and poor placement of VMs and applications, undermining these benefits and introducing additional costs and risks.  To achieve the right balance of self-service and control, Cloud architects need to include both self service portal and intelligent workflow technologies in their designs. These technologies support data collection, dynamic approvals, formatted email notifications, and rules based placements, while at the same accurately accounting for software license inventories and driving automation.  John MacLean from the VMware Service Manager group will discuss this topic in more detail and give a technology preview of some key technologies that we’re working on to deliver self-service and workflow automation in the private cloud.
