- 3. There Are Powerful Market Forces At Work The cloud is real and is here to stay Virtual machine sprawl IT consumerization and the emergence of shadow IT
- 4. How Do You Deal with VM Sprawl? Virtualization sprawl occurs when the number of virtual machines on a network reaches a point where the administrator can no longer manage them effectively. • According to IBM, virtual images are tripling every two years, outpacing Moore’s law • 90 percent of organizations expect to adopt or substantially deploy a cloud model in the next three years. • Most larger enterprises have between five to twenty thousand virtual machines • According to Cisco’s Global Cloud Index, more than 50% of all workloads will be processed in the cloud by 2014.

- #22: UC6 Customers tap 6fusion Platform API to create console access to infrastructure or integrate Control Room modules (e.g., Profiler) into third party applicationsThe UC6 Control Room is the central operation hub for cloud service requests and it provides the heartbeat information about capacity and availability of iNodes. It runs on private infrastructure owned and operated by 6fusion.UC6 Engine Room is deployed onto the customer’s Virtual Infrastructure, which carries out the task of federation. Multi-tenant infrastructure providers are viewable to anyone with iNode Network access. Enterprise customer infrastructure is viewable only by internal groups belonging to the customer operation
