Gravitant: Cloud Service Brokerage Platform For Strategic Cloud Optimization

Founded in 2005, Gravitant provides a cloud services brokerage and management platform to make public and private clouds easy to consume and, simple to govern. It enables enterprises for easy management of cloud computing resources in order to optimize cloud consumption across hybrid clouds. "The U.S. government made a 'Cloud First' mandate in 2011, but its actual implementation has been really been slow due to lack of skills, guidance,tools and security. Thus, the on-demand functionalities of cloud computing doesn't include the controls needed to assure usage of right resources at the right time and cost. Gravitant's Just-in-Time IT strategy solves this problem with real time governance controls and automated adjustment to resource utilization," says Mohammed Farooq, Chariman and CEO.

Gravitant's cloudMatrix platform empowers enterprise IT to overcome the complexities and risks of cloud services across multiple providers by delivering a complete IT-as-a-service solution. It enables government IT organizations to select the best cloud service for their needs, choose the best solutions for cloud, procure it within full policy compliance and, optimize taxpayer funds by governing the applications with full cost transparency.

For example, many state agencies in Texas were in search of a cloud-based solution that could take control of their virtual resources, integrate with existing technologies and aggregate services from multiple providers, to deliver an improved resource management across their system. Gravitant's cloud Matrix technology offered Texas the ability to set up a powerful and dynamic web-based cloud brokerage portal for government agencies to plan, procure, and manage IT services across providers.
