HotLink Corporation, a provider of hybrid IT management solutions, has introduced HotLink Cloud Management Express, which extends VMware vCenter capabilities so companies can unify the management of both public and private cloud resources in one integrated solution. HotLink Cloud Management Express provides public cloud support for Microsoft Azure, vCloud Air, OpenStack, and Amazon EC2, and on-premises support for OpenStack, Microsoft Hyper-V, Citrix XenServer, and Red Hat KVM.
The cloud management platform provides an intuitive, single point of administration, management, and automation, extending VMware vCenter Server to deliver a streamlined hybrid cloud management platform. In addition, the new solution enables companies to leverage existing VMware vCenter-compatible tools and workflows, such as orchestration, self-service portals, PowerCLI scripts, and automation across hybrid resources.
Additional capabilities of HotLink Cloud Management Express include:
- Auto-discovery of cloud-based resources spanning on- and off-premise†for easy and automated addition of hybrid resources to the VMware vCenter inventory tree
- Fine-grained monitoring and performance data†provides unified and consistent management and analytics across disparate resource types
- Support for power operations and VM console access enables users to manage a range of cloud-based workloads with a single point of administration
- Ability to edit workload properties and provision from native templates†to eliminate the need for multiple administrative consoles across hybrid resources
- Hybrid alarms, alerts, and change management†for a single point of operational management across all cloud resources
- Unified permissions and security management†
“HotLink has been singularly focused on streamlining the management of hybrid environments since the company’s beginning, and our transformation technology is unique in enabling VMware vCenter to natively interoperate with other platforms. The launch of HotLink Cloud Management Express takes this to the next level, supporting the largest spectrum of on- and off-premise resources of any hybrid management solution. Customers can now select their cloud provider of choice without worrying about integration and management complexities,” says Lynn LeBlanc, CEO of HotLink.
HotLink Cloud Management Express is available now with pricing at $175 per workload per year for 150 workloads. For more information on pricing or to request a product demonstration, email†sales@hotlink.com.
