Enigmatec Virtual Orchestrator (EVO)

Automating Management of the Virtual Server Eco-system

The widespread deployment of virtualization technologies has greatly improved server utilization, application reliability, and developer productivity.

This powerful new class of software is changing application development and testing, and the way IT resources are allocated and shared. However, already overburdened IT support teams are struggling to develop new approaches to the management of rapidly proliferating virtual environments. Key challenges include:

Compressed Application Development Cycles: Require rapid set-up/tear-down of virtual servers for development and test teams – typically a labor-intensive manual process.

Increased Demand for Shared IT Resources: Means that IT support teams are spending more time balancing competing needs for virtual resources.

Cost Control: Doing “more with less” means having to develop and enforce resource allocation and chargeback policies – another added responsibility for IT support teams.

Enigmatec Virtual Orchestrator – Less Stress and More Control

For today’s dynamic virtualized environments, Enigmatec Virtual Orchestrator (EVO) significantly reduces your administrative burden of provisioning requested virtual machines and eliminates the heavy lifting of ongoing lifecycle management.

EVO automates your IT workflows and orchestrates the multitude of technologies required to provision, configure, allocate, and reclaim virtual resources. The workflow below illustrates EVO in action: a web-based portal allows users to request new virtual services based on standard “blueprints.” if the request meets automated approval criteria, EVO provisions the service, orchestrates any post-provisioning configuration,and allocates the service to the user for a pre-set “lease” period. That’s it! For special requests, built-in approval schemes kick in to notify an administrator, who can then approve, modify, or reject the request. Once the virtual service is deployed, EVO continues to manage it throughout the lifecycle, automatically handling lease extensions, configuration change requests, and more.
