eGroup Launches e-Book to Assist with Cloud Management

eGroup, a company which provides innovative cloud, application and end-user computing services to businesses across the Southeast, has released an e-book, "Succeeding with Cloud Management: Restore Order. Prevent Chaos."

The book, written to help IT professionals restore order to their cloud environments, is available for free download on the company's website.

From consumers to IT department, cloud-based technology has become ubiquitous and easy to use, so much that, according to a statement from eGroup, "products from companies like VMware make implementing the basic benefits of the cloud almost trivial."

Yet that very ease of implementation can create problems with managing the clouds once they are positioned.

Dealing with those issues, finding working solutions and reducing associated costs are what eGroup hopes to accomplish with the e-book, along with providing answers other questions, including:

• Do you know which divisions of your organization are using cloud resources today?
• Does IT "own" all cloud instances, or do departments seek out their own?
• Can you tell what resources your cloud instances are actually consuming? Are they too big, too small, or just right?
• Is your ability to spin up a new cloud resource measured in minutes, days, or weeks?

Because the company's solutions are designed to drive customer revenue while reducing cost to maintain IT infrastructures, eGroup also hopes IT leaders will use the resource as they contemplate their next course of action to transform from what is often a useful, but unwieldy set of utilities into a well-managed enterprise-level cloud.

eGroup has been named one of the region's fastest growing companies and is a winner of the 2014 CRN "Tech Elite 250."
