Practical Example – Hyper-V, VMware

Simplify and delegate VM management

VMs as far as the eye can see

In addition to the many positive aspects of virtualizing computers, you also know the downsides. The number of virtual machines is almost inexhaustible. Additional test systems are constantly needed to test new applications and services. But will they be dismantled in time? Even the running operation of a virtual environment with changes, reconfigurations and snapshots demands everything from you.

Automation and delegation for daily tasks

How about doing many of your recurring tasks of varying complexity at the touch of a button? On a single VM or many VMs simultaneously. Without getting tangled up and down in the complex management tools of the platforms. Or how about delegating and automating the provisioning and cleanup of test systems, configuration, selected settings, snapshots, and software provisioning even more easily?

“We never expected that it would be possible to install, configure, familiarize ourselves with and directly implement two use cases in such a complex topic within two hours. This impressed us quite a lot and made the decision easy for us, as we have already realized the first benefits directly.”

Your requirements

You want to perform simple to complex management tasks in your virtualization environment at the touch of a button, both for individual systems and in parallel in a package. You want the service desk or department to provide test systems, access them, select configurations, and create and reset snapshots. You also want test systems to be automatically deprovisioned. All without having to grant the service desk and departments administrative rights to the platform.

Automation of simple to complex tasks for managing VMs at the push of a button
Apply the actions to individual and many virtual machines in parallel
Provision and configuration of test systems by service desk or department
Automatic deprovisioning of test systems
No administrative rights of users to the virtualization platform required

Our solution

ScriptRunner allows direct execution of scripts on Hyper-V and with PowerCLI on VMware. Customizable scripts for managing VMs and the virtualization platform are included in the Action Packs for Hyper-V and VMware. The execution of the scripts is controlled by guidelines. Additional functions for Active Directory, users, groups and system administration provide for a comfortable application. When delegating, users work with their normal user account.

The benefit to you

Reduce the complexity of recurring virtual machine and platform management tasks. You can complete and automate tasks more easily and quickly. By delegating selected tasks to the service desk and department, you noticeably relieve yourself of provisioning and configuration tasks. You reduce reaction and throughput times for standardized operating processes. Security, control and compliance on the platform are fully maintained.

Simplification through self-defined “Admin Cockpit” for all recurring tasks
Simplify and shorten configuration and deployment processes for VMs
Ability to individually delegate management activities without compromising security and control
Opens up efficiency potential and further reducing sources of error
High security and transparency in the “VM provisioning as a (self) service”.
