CLOUDBOLT FRAMEWORK

A FRAMEWORK FOR ORCHESTRATING
YOUR CLOUD OPERATIONS

The right answer for the “Too many tools, too many clouds, not enough skilled people, too much time to ramp and scale” multi-cloud/hybrid cloud problem.

You can't

what you don’t know about

Does your company have numerous teams with multiple functions utilizing a patchwork of tools across a variety of cloud providers (plus on-prem)? Do you struggle with interconnecting it all? You’re not alone. IaC, configuration tools, disparate platforms, containers, automation solutions, etc. – these were never designed to work together, let alone provide unified visibility and governance.

New research shows the struggles enterprises like yours experience.

The tools and platforms that got companies to where they are today are not helping them fully achieve their ultimate cloud vision. Something has to sit above everything to provide more comprehensive visibility, more powerful automation, and more effective controls.

As cloud transformation has matured, it’s no longer all about ITOps and cloud provisioning. Multiple disciplines within the organization have a stake in cloud decisions and utilization, and they all see things through different lenses

The Framework

A Closer Look

Gartner originally established a set of essential cloud management capabilities (in white below) against which companies could evaluate Cloud Management Platforms (CMPs). CloudBolt goes further with a Framework that incorporates those essentials and builds in additional core functionalities designed to address the evolving realities of a future driven by multi-cloud/multi-tool requirements.

Explore the Framework and expand each layer to learn more about each capability. And keep in mind your existing tools can still be used for capabilities you already have covered, or use CloudBolt’s. Thanks to our flexibility, you can extend existing investments. Configuring the Framework can be as unique as your enterprise.
