3.2 Deployment Models
In addition to monitoring the infrastructure where they reside, cloud operations and management components can address the following use cases:
• Enterprises managing and monitoring their own public cloud resources.
• Service providers managing and monitoring on-premises private clouds for enterprises in a Network Operations Center (NOC) context.
• Service providers managing and monitoring off-premises hosted private clouds for enterprises in a NOC context.
Enterprises can extend their existing management tools to manage their private cloud infrastructure and Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) instances purchased from a service provider. The following figure shows the deployment model.
Figure 3. Enterprises Managing and Monitoring Public Cloud Resources
Service providers that manage on-premises private clouds for multiple customers can use centralized instances of cloud operations and management components to operate in a NOC context. The following figure shows the deployment model.
Figure 4. Managing and Monitoring On-Premises Private Clouds for Enterprises
Service providers that manage off-premises hosted clouds for multiple customers (potentially in the service provider’s data center) can also use centralized instances of cloud operations and management components to operate in a NOC context. The following figure shows the deployment model.
