Simplify deployment and management of enterprise cloud applications and support faster DevOps practices with this consolidated management platform.
Enterprises are adopting cloud-based infrastructure to gain business agility and reduce costs at a rapid rate. With a growing number of business units already consuming public cloud services directly, IT organizations are adopting hybrid cloud-based operating models but still failing to meet business expectations for speed to market and technology innovation.
To meet these demands, IT organizations must serve as cloud services brokers, centrally managing a marketplace of cloud resources and apps.
Simplify public, private and hybrid cloud management
IT organizations must serve as cloud services brokers, centrally managing a marketplace of cloud resources and apps available on a self-service basis.
DXC Agility Platform™ is enterprise software that provides a single, consolidated cloud management solution to help large enterprises simplify the complexities of public, private and hybrid cloud management. Agility Platform automates the deployment,
management and governance of cloud applications, development platforms and other enterprise cloud services across hybrid
cloud environments. It supports application release automation and DevOps programs to increase the speed and frequency of software releases without sacrificing the quality of software in production.
Supporting the end-to-end cloud application life cycle, Agility Platform integrates with your existing enterprise IT ecosystem and system development life cycle (SDLC). Features include:
- Robust service catalog. This catalog provides fully governed, self-service access to IT resources, including comprehensive portfolios of cloud services and applications, available directly to end users through an Amazon-like online store.
- Centralized governance and compliance. Ensure fully governed and secure hybrid cloud usage across the enterprise, including all applicable regulatory and organizational requirements. Ensure greater flexibility in revising policies to meet changing regulatory demands.
- Flexibility and portability. Promote innovation on the business unit’s hybrid cloud provider of choice, while adhering to IT standards and integrating into existing IT ecosystems. Future-proof investments by providing cloud portability for applications, platforms and services available in a central service catalog.
- DevOps support. Support application release automation and DevOps throughout the SDLC, increasing the speed and frequency of software releases.
- Chargeback and real-time visibility. Enable chargeback and real-time consumption visibility into hybrid cloud resource consumption, including visibility into shadow IT activity.
Agility Platform comes integrated with third-party suppliers, such as Microsoft, Amazon and IBM, and includes multiple product modules, cloud adapters, a software development kit (SDK), a command-line interface and a robust API. A graphical workbench supports the design of complex multi-tier applications.
Extensible policy-driven governance
A broad range of application-centric policy types controls the deployment and enforces the standardization of applications and platforms. Agility Platform’s policies automate deployment of applications that include components such as databases, app servers, web servers, load balancers, firewalls, VPN appliances and registration with third-party systems.
Application release automation
Agility Platform provides an at-a-glance dashboard for the management and promotion of applications, deployment environments and code artifacts across the SDLC. Further, Agility Platform integrates with an organization’s existing software development and deployment tool chain to enable SDLC workflow automation.
End-to-end security model
For enhanced security, Agility Platform uses an end-to-end cloud security model that allows organizations to define high-level security policies and implement them in a consistent and automated manner across all workloads and deployment environments
under management. It also integrates with your existing security ecosystem, including single sign-on and rolebased access control, to extend your security controls through your cloud applications.
Self-service portal
Reduce IT provisioning time and manual overhead with Agility Platform’s fully governed, self-service portal. It allows easy access to standardized and customizable applications, platforms and other as-a-service offerings for on-demand deployment.
Enterprise scalability
Agility Platform meets the scalability needs of any large enterprise, with autoscaling policies that dynamically add, resize and remove instances as needed. Underlying application tiers (apps servers, Web servers, etc.) scale independently, balancing cost and
performance. Agility Platform’s distributed architecture enables it to scale to meet the needs of large enterprises and helps conserve network bandwidth to control costs and avoid impacts on performance.ace and a robust API.
