Benefits of the GaleForce Turnkey Cloud include:
* Composite automation and orchestration in private and public clouds– The solution allows organizations to place any application workload on the cloud, whether it is virtualized or not, thus dramatically improving the utilization of existing hardware, software and virtual resources – typically from under 10 percent to over 95 percent – reducing capital and operational expenditures and doing more with fewer physical, virtual and human resources.
* Guaranteed resource availability in a shared, dynamic environment– The GaleForce Turnkey Cloud solution ensures that resources are guaranteed to be available for workloads, as and when needed in a shared IT environment. GaleForce provisions and configures the appropriate resources as workload reservations become current, and returns the resources to the pool thus releasing capacity when the reservations expire.
* Quick cloud deployment– The solution includes a comprehensive list of resource adaptors for commonly used resources such as: HP, IBM, and Dell servers; network equipment based on Cisco IOS/CatOS and Juniper JunOS; NetApp and EMC CLARiiON storage; VMware vCenter/ vSphere; Amazon EC2; and many more; and includes predefined templates for commonly used infrastructure topology configurations.
* Support for legacy and heterogeneous environments –The solution allows building a dynamic, shared environment with self-service access out of the customer's existing infrastructure without requiring the expense and complexity of new hardware and tools.
Scenarios that will see the fastest returns on investment with the Turnkey Cloud include environments with frequent buildup and teardown of infrastructure, including data center staging and QA environments, training clouds, sales demonstration and proof of concept clouds, development and test environments, and disaster recovery test environments; and environments that require frequent and fast delivery of cookie cutter workloads.

"The GaleForce Turnkey Cloud takes these benefits a step further by enabling the speedy deployment of a private or hybrid cloud without the cost, complexity and lengthy implementation cycles of typical cloud deployment solutions."
