eCloudManager Manages IT Infrastructures in the Cloud
The eCloudManager from fluid Operations delivers an innovative platform for private and public cloud management, enabling the creation of a flexible and scalable cloud environment. It provides a unified overview of all aspects of a private or public cloud. In this way, multiple hypervisors, storage systems, public clouds and enterprise applications are managed and controlled from the eCloudManager‘s user interface.

Based on the semantic integration of heterogeneous data sources and on its ability to fully automate processes across infrastructure and application layers and to also include IT project management tasks and workflows, the eCloudManager provides an overview of the complete data center and delivers innovative ‘IT as a Service’ solutions. End users can thus consume everything from compute resources (Infrastructure as a Service), to storage resources (Storage as a Service), to enterprise application landscapes (Landscape as a Service™), to service extensions (e.g. patches, customized reports, etc.) in a cloud-like manner, while significantly reducing the time usually spent on manual tasks.
