How does Agility™ help my business?

Agility™ fulfills your IT service requirements in a truly flexible way...

Create a Private Cloud of IT resources. Agility enables you to assign resources from your existing IT in order to create a flexible, Private Cloud.
Enable flexibility instantly. Once under the control of Agility your IT resources are dynamically provisioned to meet changing demand.
Do more with the same. Agility automatically optimizes resource utilization by supporting controlled sharing.
Gain immediate benefits without disruption. Agility compliments, rather than replaces, existing IT infrastructure. No “big bang” switchover is needed, so critical business applications can continue without disruption.
Start small and safe and grow big and powerful. Agility can be deployed in stages as IT resources can be moved incrementally under Agility’s management. This allows you to experiment with small deployments before experiencing the real power of Agility in larger installations.

Overcome organizational barriers to sharing. Agility addresses the human concerns of ownership and trust by allowing autonomous resource owners to retain control by specifying how, when and by whom their resources can be shared.
FEDERATE Clouds within and beyond the enterprise. Agility allows you to federate multiple Clouds to leverage shared services and resources. You can connect internal departmental clouds together and extend beyond the enterprise to connect your business to supply chain partners and customers. Agility can also flexibly provision resources from the Public Cloud (e.g. Amazon EC2 and S3) as and when required.
Control Your Private Cloud. With Agility, you can manage the behavior of your private cloud through policy. You can use policy to introduce organization-wide changes such as prioritizing the use of particular public clouds (e.g. for cost advantage), and introducing Green IT policies, etc.

Capture IT consumer requirements. Agility allows your IT consumer to express their requirements in a language that focuses on service delivery without the need to understand and describe underlying IT infrastructure.
Maintain IT consumer requirements. Service Agreements between IT consumers and providers allow your IT consumer requirements to be guaranteed and audited.
Monitor IT consumer requirements. Agility enables the monitoring of all your Service Agreements, providing:

Deliver IT consumer requirements . Agility automatically maintains your Service Agreements, protecting your IT consumer from service failures, including those caused by sudden increases in demand, or IT outages.

Reduce Capital Expense. Agility optimizes existing resource utilization, delaying or completely avoiding the need for new hardware/housing spend.
Reduce Operating Expense.

Agility simplifies system administration and operation, reducing the labor requirements per server.
Reducing and delaying CapEx spend reduces the associated costs of support, maintenance, power and housing.
Agility enables the deployment of cost-reducing policies. For instance, service provisioning decisions can take into account power consumption, shutting down power-hungry servers if alternatives are available. Similarly, Green IT policies can be implemented in this way, ensuring consistent management across the IT department.
Agility automatically maps your IT consumer’s service requirements onto the necessary IT resources, significantly reducing the cost of this traditionally manual process.

Deliver new Business Services Faster. INNOVATE by creating new services with improved time-to-market and reduced risk. Prototype and trial your new services with minimal expense by utilising existing IT without compromising established services.
Breakthrough the limitations of internal IT capacity. Agility can elastically provision resources from Public Clouds to allow you to SCALE beyond your internal capacity. This means it can scale existing services to meet your customer demands, and add new services when there is a business opportunity.
