Service Management for the Private Cloud!   This white paper will help you take advantage of service management principles to maximize the benefits of the private cloud. Service level management is more important than ever because of the private cloud's emphasis on self-service, and the interdependency of its components. Service catalogs also play a big role in a cloud environment because of the importance of letting users know what is available, at what costs, and at what service levels. Apply service management to get several benefits out of the private cloud, such as elasticity, scalability, automation, and reduced time to market. Join the beta.
