Cloud infrastructure brokerage and orchestration services are removing the complexity in managing hybrid environments and enabling greater reliability and continuity through the adoption of AI operations, and allowing the enterprise to increase the speed to market for digital initiatives.
Key requirements for cloud brokerage and orchestration services include the ability to manage the increasing complexity of the IT environment (where clients are working with multiple vendors, based on different levels of adoption, and multiple destinations of cloud, such as private cloud for regulatory reasons, or public cloud), where the orchestration of services and seamless management of IT is key to enable workload agility. Additional requirements include the ability to manage multi-cloud services through a single plane glass and dashboard, and blending private, public and cloud managed services with existing on-premise IT.
Key services being deployed include cloud brokering, onboarding of new cloud services from CSP’s (public, private and hosted), through a self-serve, catalog-based approach, and the ongoing management of cloud services once deployed. In addition, single and multi cloud automated provisioning through self-service provisioning, automating the end-to-end delivery and continuous management of infrastructure and applications, including de-provisioning to reclaim unused resources.
To deliver these services, IT service vendors are investing in capabilities including:
- Evolving cloud brokerage advisory
- Expanding cloud ecosystem partners
- Self-healing and autonomous remediation
- Automation IP
- Cognitive virtual agents.
IT services vendors are also using a plethora of third-party tools in support of brokerage, orchestration, automation, AI, self-heal and end-user experience.
