The partners claim this is the first automated system of its kind on the market.<\/p>\n<p>Existing cloud brokerages, they claim, have to manually recommend workload placement to public cloud service providers (CSPs). However Intelligent Cloud Control gives Verizon customers a system that automatically makes instant calculations on price, performance and placements, while taking in compliance considerations. It also makes all the sizing and configuration decisions needed in order to install and migrate workloads to public cloud providers.<\/p>\n<p>Verizon claims the system will be easy to use with a single interface and detailed cost controls that will eliminate billing surprises. The system will also help end users keep on top of performance and compliance issues through rigourous cloud monitoring.<\/p>\n<p>The \u2018Verizon Intelligent Cloud Control powered by VMTurbo\u2019 service will launch during the first quarter of 2016. Initially the service will include connections to Amazon Web Services, IBM SoftLayer and Microsoft Azure.<\/p>\n<p>Verizon\u2019s customers said they needed a better way to manage their risk when moving to the public cloud, according to Victoria Lonker, director of enterprise networking for Verizon. \u201cWe are removing the complexities and myriad trade-offs between price, performance and compliance in various public cloud services,\u201d said Lonker, \u201cnow they can focus on the applications and services.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>VMTurbo\u2019s Application Performance Control system is used by 1200 enterprises to guarantee Quality of Service for applications and to make full use of all resources in cloud and virtualized environments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIntelligent Cloud Control is different from today\u2019s cloud brokers and managers as it factors in application performance and price,\u201d said Endre Sara, VP of advanced solutions of VMTurbo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>US telco Verizon and control system maker VMTurbo have jointly created the Verizon Intelligent Cloud Control to help Verizon customers migrate workloads to the most suitable public cloud service.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":105,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2172,1443,1976,1653,3700],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-18836","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-channel","category-cloud-brokerage","category-news-analysis","category-verizon","category-vmturbo"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18836","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/105"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18836"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18836\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18837,"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18836\/revisions\/18837"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18836"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18836"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18836"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
