Address Compute Costs with Workload Automation

Virtustream’s new automated services reduce the amount of time and manual effort required from an organization’s internal IT team to perform start/stop commands on SAP landscapes and systems. The new tools and features include:

  • Strategic Scheduling: Start/stop operations can be scheduled through the Virtustream xStream portal in 30-minute windows on a one-time, on-demand, or recurring basis (daily, weekly or free-form). Additionally, users can set an expiration date for the agentless operation. Creating customized schedules to power virtual machines on or off helps to reduce compute costs. Additionally, automatically shutting down applications when they aren’t being used, such as during weekends and maintenance periods, can further optimize costs.
  • Defined Prioritization: Customers can assign each SAP system a set priority, allowing them to stagger the start/stop of their system so they proceed in a defined order, helping to ensure applications run efficiently and correctly.
  • Improved Access Control: Only approved administrators or users can access and use the start/stop automation, as dictated by the enterprise’s permission controls within their xStream tenant.
  • New Status Updates, Customized Notifications and Action Logs: A new status bar indicates the step-by-step process of each action as it progresses through the SAP system or landscape. Additionally, customized email notifications can be sent to each administrator based on actions (all actions or only scheduled) or by result (all results or failed only). An action log is generated for each system that shows all actions run on a specific SAP system or landscape including who initiated the action, when it was completed, and what actions were taken.

“Automation is key to streamlining IT operations and increasing cloud agility while freeing internal resources to focus on higher-priority projects or initiatives,” says Mike Zolla, Vice President of Cloud Platform Engineering and Delivery, Virtustream. “By extending automation deeper into our mission-critical Virtustream Enterprise Cloud platform, we are helping our enterprise customers increase the economic and business benefits of their SAP applications.”
