Dell VIS Creator

Break out of the IT bottleneck

IT departments are constantly faced with the need to deliver resources to employees, so they can drive business growth. In many organizations, workload requests outpace IT's ability to fulfill employee requests, which can slow business operations. With IT departments overwhelmed, business users may look outside the organization for faster IT service delivery. This can lead to limited IT control, security challenges and potential compliance issues.

What if you had an automated way to rapidly deliver server, desktop and hybrid cloud workloads as needs arose? And what if your IT department could put policies in place that would help users install their own workloads in a controlled environment?

VIS Creator is an automated service delivery and management platform for virtual desktop workloads, virtual and physical server workloads and your hybrid cloud. At a high level, your IT department can use it to:

  • Give authorized users a self-service portal where they can select and deploy resources that can be managed through their life cycle across a heterogeneous environment
  • Accelerate virtual machine adoption while controlling sprawl by automating the process of provisioning and reclaiming compute resources in a shared, multihypervisor environment
  • Deliver and control multivendor virtual desktop infrastructure, accelerate infrastructure growth and utilization, and do it all from a single console
  • Give developers an on-demand solution with the resources they need to easily manage a developer environment within a virtual data center without burdening overall IT operations

More specifically, VIS Creator enables IT to:

  • Keep up with increasing business demands through automated, self-service IT resource delivery
  • Improve control and reduce the need for one-off builds through standardization and policy
  • Provision virtual and physical server workloads and virtual desktop workloads in a multivendor ecosystem from a single platform
  • Deploy and manage public cloud workloads with the same governance IT has in a private cloud
  • Get secure multitenant functionality in a shared infrastructure that provides business-aware access control, process automation and governance that can be customized to meet the needs of different groups
  • Continue getting value from existing technology investments with an open solution that works with popular hypervisors, applications and hardware from a wide range of vendors
