New FlexAnywhere solutions enhancements support rapid application mobility with advanced visibility and reporting
Flexential, a leading provider of data center, colocation, cloud and connectivity, further extended its FlexAnywhere hybrid IT solutions portfolio that address key CIO pain points by improving application performance, providing business agility and the ability to scale IT infrastructure, and delivering superior interconnection capabilities.
The new enhancements to Flexential’s Hosted Private Cloud (HPC) – Advanced Access solutions provide full control of enterprise private cloud environments with new capabilities for rapidly migrating applications, workloads and data as business requirements change. The company also today added support for advanced metrics and reporting tools backed by Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI).
By providing direct vCenter access coupled with advanced analytics, customers can benefit from the best of both worlds.
Long-term adoption of hybrid work environments has reduced reliance on traditional infrastructure. Gartner® forecasts that “worldwide end-user spending on public cloud services will reach nearly $600 billion in 2023, up from $494.7 billion in 2022″.* It’s essential that businesses have the operational control and flexibility to adjust, plan and scale workload placements accordingly.
