- Next-generation multicloud management leverages artificial intelligence (AI) to automate the detection and resolution of performance and availability bottlenecks
BMC, a global player in IT solutions for the digital enterprise, has shared its strategy for multicloud management and launched a range of new solutions and services that help IT professionals lead their companies into the digital transformation era. BMC’s multi-cloud strategy, supported by new and expanded solutions, serves as a cloud management guide and measuring stick for businesses as they move to the cloud and develop insightful ways to manage their mixed environments securely, efficiently, and more cost-effectively.
According to BMC, the complexity created by multiple clouds and the need to enable speed and innovation, amplify the traditional challenges and pressures placed on IT and the business: namely visibility, cost, security, performance, automation, and migration. In a dispersed multicloud environment, using multiple cloud services from multiple public cloud hosting providers in addition to on-premises infrastructure and data, as many as six in 10 traditional IT assets and applications are not within IT’s direct control, the company said. BMC recommends that businesses adopt multicloud management solutions to better understand their IT infrastructure and securely optimise cloud performance and costs.
“Businesses are in the midst of dramatic transformation from the data centre to the cloud and beyond,” said Bill Berutti, President, Enterprise Solutions at BMC. “Enterprises are poised to spend roughly US$1.1 trillion in digital transformation technologies. This investment creates unprecedented opportunities for companies to develop new services, enhance employee productivity and efficiency, improve real-time decision making, and develop new and innovative user experiences. Our multicloud management strategy and new solutions empower companies to fully realise the vast economic and technological benefits of the cloud.
Berutti said a new approach is needed for effective multicloud management, beginning with discovering which assets exist both on-premises and in multiple clouds. "Unmanaged and unaccounted-for IT assets lead to costs spiralling out of control and are an open invitation to the next big hack,” Berutti said.
Two new BMC solutions address the cost and security challenges created by multicloud complexity:
TrueSight Cloud Cost Control is a cost management solution that analyses current and future costs and utilisation of multicloud infrastructure services, providing insight and control over capital and operating expenditures. With a single view of on-premises and public cloud infrastructure spend, organisations can track and analyse infrastructure costs and utilisation, identify overspending, and forecast future costs. The ability to simulate migrations to public cloud and compare on-premises and various public cloud service costs ensures applications run on the most cost efficient infrastructure.
“Understanding costs across any public, private, and hybrid cloud model is essential in increasing business acumen, and driving business strategy impact,” said Stephen Elliot, Program VP at IDC.
SecOps Policy Service embeds compliance and security testing into the software development lifecycle. The cloud-based solution provides continuous verification, analytics, and governance to ensure compliance is protected, reducing risk when creating multicloud applications. SecOps Policy Service also prioritises and remediates non-compliant configurations across public cloud services, utilising a flexible architecture with built-in connectors and policy extensibility for virtually any data source.
The company also recently announced BMC Discovery for Multi-Cloud, extending BMC’s discovery and dependency mapping capabilities to provide dynamic visibility into public and private clouds.
BMC also disclosed that it is investing in machine learning, AI and cognitive-driven capabilities to leverage predictive automation that can analyse data faster than people. TrueSight 11, BMC’s platform for artificial intelligence in IT operations (AIOps), leverages machine learning and analytics to improve the quality and performance of services in multi-cloud environments.
BMC’s Cognitive Service Management (CSM) solutions address the complexities of multicloud computing by applying intelligence, automation and predictive capabilities. CSM enables an omnichannel service experience leveraging chatbots and virtual agents to simplify and enhance employee self-service, and to deliver speed and accuracy of ticket classification and resolution so agents spend less time on repetitive tasks.
