Hyper9 Announces Cloud Cost Estimator for Virtual Environments and
Integration with Third-Party Collaboration Tools
Solution Estimates Cost of Virtualization in Amazon?s EC2; Helps
Enterprises Compare Baseline between Internal and External Cloud
Deployments, and Share Information Cross-Organizationally
AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Hyper9,
Inc., the enterprise-class
virtualization management company, today announced its latest
product release focused on bringing greater transparency to the ?black
box? of virtualization initiatives. The solution features a Cloud Cost
Estimator Lens, a customizable dashboard that uses data and analytics to
estimate how much it would cost to run a company?s virtual machines on
Amazon EC2. Additional features include integration with common
collaboration tools such as Microsoft SharePoint, wikis and other
external web portals, and support for VMware vSphere 4.1.
?With our new Cloud Cost Estimator and third-party portal
integration, we can help enterprises analyze that data in the context of
their own internal operations, project those costs to other external
environments, and even share that information cross-organizationally for
more strategic decision-making.?
While the operational benefits of virtualization have been
well-established, it?s often difficult for application teams and
business stakeholders to understand how virtualization ties back to
tier-1 business processes ? and to collaborate and share these insights
back and forth.
Hyper9's latest release helps organizations pinpoint how much memory and
CPU capacity VMs have been allocated, and how much network bandwidth and
storage throughput they are consuming, and then translates those costs
into what they would pay to run a mirror environment in Amazon?s EC2.
This helps IT set and compare baselines between internal and external
cloud deployments, and recommend the best investment decisions for the
business.
Integration with third-party collaboration portals such as SharePoint
provides another level of critical transparency. Using Hyper9, business
owners for a key service or application can now access real-time reports
showing the uptime of critical VMs, the amount of resources they are
consuming, and the potential ?chargeback? cost to the business ? without
ever leaving their SharePoint application. This information can then be
shared cross-organizationally to prioritize virtualization initiatives
and focus investments on the areas of greatest benefit to the business.
?One of the key barriers to virtualization success is the lack of
transparency into how critical elements are performing, what they cost,
and how those costs tie back to the business,? said Bill Kennedy, CEO of
Hyper9. ?With our new Cloud Cost Estimator and third-party portal
integration, we can help enterprises analyze that data in the context of
their own internal operations, project those costs to other external
environments, and even share that information cross-organizationally for
more strategic decision-making.?
