Exciting news today: Now you can try newScale's market-leading service catalog for free!
In the words of every shameless infomercial promoter, "But wait, there's more!" The trial version is packaged specifically to address the growing number of management challenges surrounding virtual environments.
We interviewed VM admins and heard a number of painful stories; too many of them over and over again.
- Not sure who owns what
- Can't keep track of new requests
- Too many "temporary" VMs
- Too many custom VMs
- No idea what's running on VMs
- ... and so on...
It just so happens that a service catalog is perfectly positioned to solve these problems. And while we'd like to take all the credit for this idea, the fact is that we've had customers putting our service catalog solutions in front of their data centers for years. All we did was listen closely and package up a free trial. Oh, and we developed an integration to VMware that ships out-of-the-box and ready to go.
So what does the solution look like? To touch on a few points:
- Highly configurable self-service portal
- Capture business-centric and other meta-data
- Link VMs with owners
- Automate approval/authorization process
- VMware integration to create, modify and manage VMs
- Import data from existing VMware environments
The great thing is that you don't have to believe me at all. You can download a free trial and check it out yourself. The trial includes a virtual machine with our service catalog pre-installed and configured. "But wait, there's more!" It also comes with a series of self-paced guided activities to walk you through everything you need to know to get started. There's also an online community if you're one of those quick-learner types; and I suspect most of you are.
