newScale - Virtualization Lifecycle Management and Provisioning Though Service Catalogs

newScale helps standardize virtual machine deployments across the enterprise and drive a virtual-first policy to encourage adoption, by providing comparisons between standard physical and virtual (or cloud computing) options and then guiding the users to the most cost-effective choice to meet their needs.

NewScale provides a self-service IT storefront with on-demand provisioning from a menu of private or public cloud service options. A comprehensive and well-designed Service Catalog offers a solution to this challenge by providing a self-service portal for requesting standard virtual machine options with lifecycle management to track the end-to-end cycle from provisioning to de-commissioning.

newScale and Virtualization

A comprehensive and well-designed Service Catalog offers a solution to this challenge by providing a self-service portal for requesting standard virtual machine options with lifecycle management to track the end-to-end cycle from provisioning to de-commissioning. It can also help standardize virtual machine deployments across the enterprise and drive a virtual-first policy to encourage adoption, by providing comparisons between standard physical and virtual (or cloud computing) options and then guiding the users to the most cost-effective choice to meet their needs.

With newScale Service Catalog, IT can offer a Web-based self-service menu of standard service packages and options. Easy-to-use service request forms can be configured to record everything you need for the virtual machine build sheet. Once a build has been selected, an automated approval process ensures all the right policies and procedures are in place.

An approved virtual machine is automatically deployed based on the selected build, together with other components for the service package. You can then track the entire service lifecycle, identify who's using what, de-commission unused resources, and ensure capacity to meet demand. Moreover, by tracking consumption and costs, IT management has complete visibility into usage and a detailed bill of services.


The New Scale Suite Includes:

The newScale PortfolioCenter™application will enable your IT infrastructure teams to quickly design and market an online "IT brochure" of standardized service offerings, with tiers of service, pricing, and optional included components.

With newScale RequestCenter®, you can rapidly deploy a self-service portal across your entire data center infrastructure — including physical servers, virtual machines, storage, networking and even cloud services - and enable automated fulfillment of service requests.

Using newScale LifecycleCenter™, your IT staff can more effectively manage the entire lifecycle of any requested service - from ordering and fulfillment of the initial request to the recovery or de-provisioning of unused or unnecessary assets.

And if your organization is ready to embrace demand planning and billing for your data center services or private cloud, newScale DemandCenter™ provides capabilities to track consumption and manage budgets.
