Cloud management platforms facilitate the management of public, private and hybrid cloud environments. Organizations attempting to develop more agile operations are assessing software-defined everything (SDX) and various public cloud options. Cloud management toolsets help organizations bridge silos in their software-defined data center (SDDC) journey and improve the agility, quality and efficiency of IT services by incorporating concepts such as standardization, a centralized self-service portal, capacity planning, workload deployments, availability and performance, financial management, governance and security, API brokers, and people and processes.
