CloudPhysics launches the Card Store for VMware users

CloudPhysics has unveiled the CloudPhysics Card Store, the first IT operations app store built on an industry-wide dataset and community. The CloudPhysics user interface is composed of Cards, each of which is a highly focused app to solve a particular IT operations problem. Cards are built by CloudPhysics and members of its user community using the Card Builder feature of the cloud-based service and range across all IT operations use cases from planning, procurement, reporting, analysis, troubleshooting and capacity management.

Today IT teams employ a myriad of homegrown, commercial and open source products to manage the operations of their virtualized data center. Unfortunately, the tools are not inter-operable, with different licensing agreements, installers, capabilities, user interfaces and security policies. As a result, IT teams end up spending their time managing the management applications, diverting them from their primary responsibility: keeping the data center operational.


"With the Card Store, customers benefit from the collective intelligence of the IT community at their fingertips," said Irfan Ahmad, CTO and Co-Founder of CloudPhysics. "Purpose-built for IT operational tasks and problems, each user-defined analytic -- referred to as a 'Card' -- is a highly specialized app targeting a particular problem. To paraphrase Apple, 'If you have an operational problem in your data center, there's a Card for that.' And just as Apple's App Store revolutionized how consumers use technology, the CloudPhysics Card Store stands to revolutionize IT operations management."
In addition to downloading existing user-defined Cards in the Card Store, all users have access to the CloudPhysics Card Builder. IT teams can define, build and customize their own IT Operations Cards -- then publish and share these solutions with their team or the Card Store and community at large. Many popular Cards -- such as Knowledge Base Advisor, vCheck suite, Security Hardening and Thin Provisioning Advisor -- were created by experts and renowned virtualization practitioners in the industry.
