Self-Service Provisioning

Empower Your End Users and Free Up Your Time

IT administrators spend too much time setting up virtual machines for end users. Processing endless user requests for new virtual machines, provisioning OS's, applications, and data require diligence, time and energy. The larger the enterprise, the more human capital required. The longer requests take to fulfill, the more productivity for your enterprise as a whole suffers. Users should be able to request and provision their own server resources, with their own specifications as long as they have approval.
