Dell today announced the acquisition of Enstratius, an award-winning enterprise cloud-management software and services provider that delivers single and multi-cloud management capabilities. Enstratius helps organizations manage applications across private, public and hybrid clouds, including automated application provisioning and scaling, application configuration management, usage governance, and cloud utilization monitoring.

The acquisition of Enstratius further enhances Dell’s end-to-end solutions strategy, bringing key capabilities to deliver cloud-management solutions to our customers. Enstratius is available as software-as-a-service or as on-premises software, enabling full control from within a customer’s data center, or via a hosted service. Enstratius currently supports more than 20 public and private cloud platforms, including OpenStack, VMware, Rackspace, Amazon Web Services and Windows Azure, with the added flexibility to easily add new clouds.

This latest announcement brings key innovations in cloud management and it will be interesting to see how this might add value to Dell’s existing end to end value proposition, but also lead to future partnerships and business solutions. Going forward the objective is the ability to integrate external cloud from a management perspective so that we can leverage it either for extra capacity, that new business requirement or for disaster recovery, being able to manage and report on this is a powerful concept and offering.
