3. There Are Powerful Market Forces At Work
The cloud is real and is here to stay
Virtual machine sprawl
IT consumerization and the
emergence of shadow IT
4. How Do You Deal with VM Sprawl?
Virtualization sprawl occurs when the number of virtual machines on a
network reaches a point where the administrator can no longer manage
them effectively.
• According to IBM, virtual images are
tripling every two years, outpacing
Moore’s law
• 90 percent of organizations expect
to adopt or substantially deploy a
cloud model in the next three years.
• Most larger enterprises have
between five to twenty thousand
virtual machines
• According to Cisco’s Global Cloud
Index, more than 50% of all
workloads will be processed in the
cloud by 2014.

12. 6fusion Cloud Resource Meter
for VMware vSphere
Profile any vSphere 4.1 or 5.0 environment directly from the vSphere Console – at no cost –
giving you a current and accurate view of the computing resources being used and by whom.
KEY FEATURES
• Simple installation – deployed as a VMware
vApp; installs in vSphere environment in minutes
• Any workload – meter any workload running on
either physical or virtual servers including web
applications or traditional client/server
applications
• Real time consumption – access real time WAC
consumption information for the entire system
• vSphere Client UI – Cloud Resource Meter data is
available in real time through the vSphere Client
interface along with 30-day historical data
• Reporting – log into 6fusion’s UC6 web based
console to access longer-term data as well as run
and export reports
13. 6fusion Cloud Resource Meter
for VMware vSphere
KEY Benefits
• Accurate cost projections – cloud cost estimation
before deployment, accurate billing/charge-backs
• Metered reporting – real time and historical
metered reporting
• Efficiently allocate compute resources –
accurate, comprehensive data enables optimized
resource allocations
• Consolidated visibility – vSphere and cloud
workloads in one view
• Ultimate flexibility – measure any application,
any deployment model
• Benchmark reporting and consumption –
leveraging same reporting engine enables simple,
accurate benchmarking
14. Estimator
A tool designed to help
users, solution providers, and
resellers to “cost out” what new
workloads will consume in the
cloud

UC6 Customers tap 6fusion Platform API to create console access to infrastructure or integrate Control Room modules (e.g., Profiler) into third party applicationsThe UC6 Control Room is the central operation hub for cloud service requests and it provides the heartbeat information about capacity and availability of iNodes. It runs on private infrastructure owned and operated by 6fusion.UC6 Engine Room is deployed onto the customer’s Virtual Infrastructure, which carries out the task of federation. Multi-tenant infrastructure providers are viewable to anyone with iNode Network access. Enterprise customer infrastructure is viewable only by internal groups belonging to the customer operation
