Enable your Business
The new economics of cloud computing.
Cloud computing is no longer just about an attempt to lower costs, it is about understanding the true value a thoughtful cloud strategy can bring to your organization.
Most enterprise executives have heard of cloud and have a relative understanding that it could save the organization money. What’s missing from their understanding is the value cloud computing brings to understanding the cost of IT resources and knowing how to more tightly manage those costs, while simultaneously achieving new levels of agility.
Because Bluelock Portfolio provides visibility and control of your remote server cost and usage, you are able to make better decisions regarding IT infrastructure. Cloud computing costs can be broken down by region, site, location, line of business, application, resource component or even by Virtual Datacenter using Bluelock Portfolio. With this detailed information, you are able to pinpoint spending trends and outliers so that you can educate your team about the status of the environment and find ways to maximize resource efficiency.
Bluelock Portfolio has a track record of helping clients feel confident about their move to the cloud and their ability to more tightly manage their costs and resources for the most optimal ROI.
Enterprise service relationships.
Enterprise customers want enterprise relationships.
Rather than taking a hands-off, credit card swiping approach, Bluelock knows enterprises want to do business on enterprise terms. That means having a Master Services Agreement (MSA) in place that contains industry leading, meaningful Service Level Agreements (SLAs). We attempt to match our delivery processes to your purchasing processes and controls, not the other way around.
Bluelock is well known for its customer orientation and enterprise-level service relationships. We understand that for many of our customers, their engagement with Bluelock also represents the organization’s first experience with cloud computing. As with any new technology, there are learning hurdles to cross in the cloud.
Because of our 5+ years of experience focused solely on cloud services, we have well-trained staff who help prepare our customers for their cloud journey and are there all along the way to ensure a successful engagement with Bluelock.
Match the right workload to the right Virtual Datacenter.
It is evident that one size cloud does not fit all. Moreover, one set of security or performance capabilities in the cloud does not fit all. Enterprise clients need to be able to match the appropriate workload to the right cloud for cost efficiency and heightened agility.
Bluelock offers Virtual Datacenter resources designed for high-risk, highly visible and mission critical applications that require top-notch performance and security. Bluelock also offers Virtual Datacenters designed for lower risk workloads where cost and commitment sensitivities are most important.
The ability to mix and match your workloads to the right VDC enables enterprises with choice and flexibility as well as peace of mind knowing they aren’t over-paying or under-securing a specific application.
Distribution of resources across departments, applications or projects for maximum efficiency.
Bluelock allows customers to carve out resources within a Virtual Datacenter for specific applications, business units or projects. This provides each with the required resources while maintaining the efficiencies of being able to swap underutilized cloud computing resources between them. This usage of a Virtual Datacenter not only increases the overall efficiency of your resources, but also enables each team to have their own dedicated resources without increasing your complexity.
Highly leveraged resources like virtual machine templates, role based security and resource management can be managed centrally but deployed across teams. Simple operations like virtual machine control and creation can be handed off to individual teams or departments. This approach provides the ultimate combination of self-service to facilitate true agility and control among teams, but allows the core cloud team to ensure consistent and manageable resource deployments.
