1.2 Business Drivers
For the customers of VMware Cloud Providers, the key business value of deploying vRealize Automation is an expedited time to value while also being able to offload the maintenance and management overhead of the private cloud infrastructure to a trusted VMware Cloud Provider of their choice.
With respect to VMware Cloud Providers, a few key business drivers for adopting this use case are as follows:
• Provide value-add to the traditional hosting platforms based on VMware vSphere®
• Dramatically decrease the deployment time of vRealize Automation for per-customer consumption
• Enable the provider to move up the stack to offer applications to their end-customer’s conceptual design/architecture
• Automated deployment of vRealize Automation in an “as a Service” model within a VMware vCloud Director® OrgVDC (reuse automation on other platforms where possible)
• Connect the vRealize Automation platform to a vCloud Director OrgVDC for IaaS provisioning
• Reduce staff effort required to deploy the solution while also minimizing human error
