The flexibility of the OpenStack open source platform has made it a popular choice for those seeking to manage large pools of compute, storage and networking resources throughout a data. However, while OpenStack aims to enable service providers and enterprises to leverage its core technology, significant investment is required to take it from a framework to a turn-key solution to support a commercialized cloud offering. Ensim IaaS Manager for OpenStack leverages the Ensim Automation Suite for a complete marketplace, service catalog, provisioning, and chargeback / billing solution for virtual data center and virtual private server offerings.
"To keep up in today's evolving economy, service providers and enterprises need to be able to roll out offerings quickly, give their customers a user-friendly place to customize and buy those offerings in the cloud, and be able to appropriately track and bill for every component of that purchase accordingly -- or else they miss out on huge revenue opportunities," said William Fellows, analyst, 451 Research. "OpenStack gives service providers and enterprise users a basic toolkit to work with but companies like Ensim are needed to add the advanced cloud services brokerage functionalities. These features are critical to allow OpenStack users the ability to really leverage the cloud as a successful way to offer products and services."
"Service Providers are looking to increase revenue from offerings beyond basic IaaS, and automated network management via SDN and Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) presents a key opportunity. However in order to properly monetize this, they need to be able to support flexible business models which requires advanced service offer modeling and granular usage metering," said David Wippich, CEO, Ensim. "By leveraging OpenStack's advanced network management and an OSS/BSS platform like the Ensim Automation Suite, they can reap the benefits of increased network efficiency, lower OPEX, and increased revenue via new service capabilities."
