Cameron Haight, Research Vice President, Gartner

Great discussion with ServiceMesh, a cloud management platform – very forward looking and intuitive software for managing int and ext clouds.

Kyle Hilgendorf, Principal Research Analyst, Gartner

The first step was to virtualize and standardize those services, and the next step was to mobilize them, so we had competition in infrastructure provisioning. You can send new or existing work in either minutes, hours, days or weeks to competitors. That’s significantly improved the standard reduced the cost of infrastructure services.”

CIO, Asia-Pacific Bank

ServiceMesh acts as the gatekeeper and manager of everything we want to do. I can now start thinking about my developers, my projects managers having direct access to my infrastructure, and I no longer have to be the middleman.

Senior Business Leader, North American Financial Services Firm

We’ve already adopted an “as-a-service” approach to infrastructure for some 25 functions, including storage, hosting and application development platforms.

General Manager, Top 15 Global Bank

With ServiceMesh, we were able to do infrastructure-as-a-service almost up to the platform level, meaning with some middleware integration, and had the environment up and running and provisioning in 7 days.

Vice President, Global Debit and Credit Card Processor

The Agility Platform provides a single pane of glass of abstraction that allows you line of sight from the application, to the service, to the infrastructure; theoretically the entire stack. Once you have that, the whole commoditization of software as a services, true pay by the drink, true cost transparency, that’s where it’s headed.

SVP of IT, Global Consumer Products Company

My vision for this organization is to enable us to compete for any business we want against any competitor, and give them all the tools necessary for them to win that business. And that’s what we’re doing.

Vice President, Global Debit and Credit Card Processor

Half our spending went to the cost of doing business and conferred no strategic advantage. Today, the ratio of IT expenditure on business service versus infrastructure is 74 to 26 percent. We know that it’s world leading.

CIO, Asia-Pacific Bank

Whatever you can dream up, I can orchestrate in the policy engine.

Director of Converged Platform Services, Global Financial Services Firm

We are making a shift away from spending half of our budget on maintaining lights-on infrastructure, and instead get more of that money into creating really high value, highly responsive services.

CIO, Asia-Pacific Bank

Im getting the ServiceMesh Demo now. Wow!

James Staten, VP and Principal Analyst at Foresster Research

IT organizations should ensure that their cloud management platforms provide increasingly robust policy-driven governance and automated configuration management.

Cloud Application Migration

Simplify and accelerate your cloud application migration with a systematic, disciplined approach.

A cloud operating model provides tremendous opportunities for enterprise IT organizations to become more agile and cost efficient. In addition to using cloud-based IT resources for new projects, significant benefits can be achieved by migrating legacy application portfolios to the cloud. However, many IT professionals are struggling to overcome the complexities of selecting, analyzing, and migrating existing applications portfolios to private and/or public clouds.

ServiceMesh’s Agility Platform provides a solution for cloud application migration that includes profiling, scoring, and migrating existing applications and virtual machines to fully governed hybrid cloud environments. Combined with ServiceMesh Advisory Service, the Agility Platform can be used to reduce the complexity of cloud application migration, enabling customers to rapidly prioritize and migrate their best-suited application workloads to the cloud.

For IT Organizations Migrating Existing Applications to the Cloud

Application Scoring and Prioritization. Automatically score application workloads using criteria and ranking algorithms that can be customized to reflect your business needs. Import application definitions from your CMDB, prioritize migration candidates, and visually compare them with customizable charts.

Automated Virtual Machine Discovery and Onboarding. Automatically discover and import existing virtual machines deployed by third-party tools and enforce policies for governance, security, and lifecycle management.

Customizable Migration Approval Workflows. Streamline migration approval workflows with Agility Platform’s workflow automation engine while integrating with your existing tools and processes.

Model and Optimize Applications for the Cloud. One size does not fit all when it comes to cloud application migration. For some applications a simple “lift and shift” is appropriate, while for other applications re-architecting to a cloud-native design is the best approach. Agility Platform gives you the versatility to address practically any migration scenario, and allows you to optimize cloud applications with cloud-portable multi-tier application blueprints, compound auto-scaling policies, workloads portable across heterogeneous clouds, and more.

Application-Centric Governance and Security. During migration planning and analysis, Agility Platform captures policy parameters that are used later in the lifecycle for policy-based governance enforcement, including workload sizing and placement, security parameters, performance thresholds, and regulatory restrictions.

Rapid Time-to-Value. Agility Platform integrates with CMDBs, VM resource managers, and a variety of other tools in the enterprise IT ecosystem to streamline analysis and migration efforts. ServiceMesh also provides advisory services and training to assist in migration planning, application remediation, and capacity planning.

Application Migration as Part of the Broader Cloud Workload Lifecycle. Following migration, you’ll be able to manage and control all aspects of your cloud-based workloads including policy-based governance, on-demand self-service provisioning, performance monitoring and resource consumption, and more.

If you would like to further evaluate the benefits of migrating your existing application portfolios to private and public clouds, please contact ServiceMesh for additional details.
