Widexs Cloud as a model case for cloud computing, even if appropriate

Widexs is a leading management-managed provider in the Netherlands, unlike the previous configuration of servers based on the customer's potential maximum capacity requirements, the company now adjusts its strategy to charge only on average customer demand, while the extra capacity is automatically configured to meet its peak demand levels as needed. Not only that, WIDEXS is expanding its advantages in the highly competitive hosting services marketplace by leveraging the BMC's Cloud lifecycle management solution.

The immediate promise of "more flexibility and value" for customers will now deliver greater flexibility, performance and value to its 11,000 customers by adopting the BMC Software Cloud Lifecycle Management solution (Cloud Lifecycle Management) for the first time.

"As a result, our challenge is to require management systems that not only coordinate the cloud environment and automate load balancing, but also manage all out-of-the-box policy-based controls and all the services that Widexs provides to customers," said Marc Rolsma, CTO of Widexs. We have evaluated a variety of solutions for all major producers, none of which can match the BMC. The BMC's cloud management system is an end-to-end, mature solution that is much superior to similar products. In fact, we have also increased automation and reduced staff pressure by deploying BMC BladeLogic. ”

After successful conceptual prototyping testing, Widexs applied the BMC Cloud Lifecycle management solution to all of its nearly 1000 dedicated servers in 2011. It will also leverage the BMC bladelogic Server Automation suite to automate it day-to-day support tasks such as patch updates, server deployments, policy testing and authorization, and the BMC Atrium Configuration Management Database (CMDB) to maintain a single real data source in the IT environment.

"Widexs is a highly innovative hosting company that is truly leveraging technology to enhance its competitive edge and provide maximum value to its customers," said Jeremy Duggan, vice president of BMC Software company and EMEA general manager. Widexs not only provides a comprehensive management solution (advanced enough for financial companies), but also provides full flexibility and highly competitive pricing through cloud-based load balancing. ”
