RedHat CloudForms
Deliver the right IT services, faster—and with more control
Unify management across your hybrid environments
Running today’s constantly-changing IT infrastructures is increasingly difficult. Your business units keep demanding resources faster, but your IT environment is getting more complex by the day—and more vulnerable . You spend more time managing systems but have less control, and it’s starting to impact your business. Manage compliance and policy across all environments with one tool. Red Hat CloudForms, with built-in Ansible automation, helps you accelerate IT service delivery and increase security and compliance. It allows you to:
- Unify management across all of your environments.
- Have complete operational and life-cycle control over deployed services.
- Increase operational visibility to discover and map resources.
- Automatically enforce policy across all environments.
RedHat CloudForms unified management
RedHat CloudForms
Manage virtual and private cloud environments
Red Hat CloudForms provides unified provisioning and management for any Red Hat or third-party virtualization platform, along with Red Hat OpenStack®-based private clouds, public clouds, and container.
Visualize what’s happening
Red Hat CloudForms scans and discovers all private cloud and virtual resources and their relationships. It continuously monitors the resources that are running and scans for new ones—giving you exceptional visibility into environmental operations.
Automate processes for more responsiveness
Red Hat CloudForms integrates with Red Hat Ansible® Automation Platform, natively supporting more than 10,000 Ansible Playbooks and 1,000 integration modules that give users access to policies and processes that don’t require coding or scripting.
Enforce compliance
Apply corporate governance policies across virtual and private cloud environments using Red Hat CloudForms. Gather compliance information on every managed resource and customize automated remediation steps to ensure defined rules aren’t bypassed.
Progress from self-service to self-sufficiency
Red Hat® CloudForms starts with a web-based self-service catalog and extends to cover the complete operational life-cycle of the deployed services, from provisioning to retirement—all within the same system.
Manage user environments and backend operations
IT managers get complete operational and life-cycle control with Red Hat CloudForms—starting, stopping, flexing, and scaling deployed services as needed. But this control can also be delegated to users via self-service ordering, if it aligns with corporate policy.
