CSC Announces Orchestration in the Cloud
06/01/2009
CSC (NYSE: CSC) today announced the next step in its company-wide commitment to cloud computing.
ebizQ received the following:
Building on its enterprise systems integration, mission-critical security capabilities and technology independence, CSC announced a vision for the delivery of cloud services that plays on its strengths with private clouds and combines them with new public cloud models.
CSC clients will benefit from new cloud orchestration services in which CSC manages complete ecosystems of cloud service providers, including platform-as-a-service, infrastructure-as-a-service and software-as-a-service providers, for clients. Orchestration will help clients manage data, lower operational costs, and collaborate easily and effectively across public and private networks.
CSC’s cloud services will consist of a multi-tiered approach:
- CSC Orchestration Core Services is a best-of-breed approach for cloud services integration that provides clients with service level management, remote monitoring, reporting, auditing and data transparency. CSC Orchestration Core Services provide automated arrangement, coordination, federation, management, security and operation of private, public, and hybrid cloud computing environments, ensuring industry-specific compliance and auditing services.
- CSC Trusted Cloud Services is a portfolio of desktop, computing, storage and network infrastructure services available on a just-in-time, on-demand basis with full security, service-level guarantees and industry-compliant services.
- CSC World Class Consulting Capabilities will enable enterprise IT clients and Independent Software Vendors (ISV) to take advantage of improved business models enabled by private, public and hybrid cloud capabilities.
CSC also establishes today a new Cloud Consulting Group led by R. Lemuel Lasher. Lasher, president of Global Business Solutions and chief innovation officer, leads CSC's Leading Edge Forum, an independent research group that drives innovative thinking around information technology, including cloud computing.
“CSC has decades of experience running enterprise ‘private cloud’ environments,” said Brian Boruff, CSC’s vice president of Cloud Computing and Software Services. “Extending these skills to integrate and manage public and private clouds is a natural step in the evolution of our business model. Enterprises who need a hybrid cloud manager will find that CSC offers ‘the right mix’ between private and public clouds and will effectively orchestrate risk.”
CSC’s cloud services will be broadly available in Fall 2009 in conjunction with several of CSC’s alliance partners, who will be accredited by CSC to offer Orchestration Core Services and Trusted Cloud Services.
