Cloud Cruiser Launches Enterprise Cloud Cruiser 4

CAMPBELL, Calif., Oct. 15, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Cloud Cruiser, provider of the only end-to-end solution for hybrid IT consumption-based delivery, announces the availability of Cloud Cruiser 4.  Now enterprises can optimize IT services delivery across Hybrid Cloud and traditional IT with the ability to track usage with users and costs offering real-time visibility, greater financial control and hard cost savings up to 10% of annual IT budget.

"Cloud Cruiser was built from the ground-up to meet the needs of enterprise IT transitioning to a consumption-based model," stated Dave Zabrowski, CEO & Founder of Cloud Cruiser. "If an organization is using a chargeback or show-back model today and is migrating to Hybrid IT service delivery, they absolutely need a way to track usage with users and costs.  With a single-pane analytics dashboard, you quickly see what services may be over-provisioned or under-allocated and this enables you to make immediate decisions that give you hard savings," added Zabrowski. 

Watch Cloud Cruiser 4 in action on this video and see how you can automatically collect usage data from a wide variety of hybrid IT environments including public and private cloud, flexibly map to business users and apply associated costs today and tomorrow to meet future demand.

New Cloud Cruiser 4 capabilities include:

• Executive Insights: A single pane, customizable dashboard view showing top costs, overages, spend against plan and capacity limits
• Demand and Supply Insights: Real-time granular consumption tracking provides reports and alerts against costs and actual IT services consumption
• What-if Insights: Cost comparisons and rate modeling helps to achieve lowest cost and optimize IT services delivery

Cloud Cruiser Insights™ provide up-to-the-minute analytics that enables fast decisions and greater cost control across hybrid IT environments.  This is achieved because Cloud Cruiser Foundations™ provide agent-less out-of-the-box data collectors that track usage in real-time, map to your unique business processes and apply specific rates and prices, that change with IT service over time.

"Enterprises today have complex environments and cloud adoption is forcing IT to be much more agile and move at the speed of the business," said Owen Rogers, Senior Analyst at 451 Research. "Without the ability to track consumption across hybrid IT spanning legacy, public and private clouds, you are simply guessing or using algorithms that risk not matching reality.  Enterprise IT needs a reliable technology solution that will enable operations and service delivery improvements that in turn meet business demands over time," added Rogers.
