Micro Focus has released Hybrid Cloud Management X (HCMX) software-as-a-service (SaaS) in the global market. The HCMX, built on the Micro Focus OPTIC SaaS platform, makes multi-cloud provisioning, self-service, governance, and cost optimization easier, safer, and more cost-effective. It has been named as the Global Winner” in the Research in Action (RIA) Vendor Selection Matrix: Hybrid Cloud Service Management Tools, 2021, as well as one of the two leaders in The Forrester Wave: Hybrid Cloud Management, Q4 2020.
The HCMX combines hybrid-cloud and on-premises fulfilment processes by enabling self-service resource provisioning with built-in cost control and governance. Clients may now consume HCMX as SaaS, with a simple conversion route for current Micro Focus cloud management customers.
“We’re very pleased to announce the availability of our popular hybrid cloud management solution, alongside our other ITOM offerings, as an independent SaaS product,” said Rohit De Souza, Senior VP & GM of ITOM at Micro Focus. “HCMX has been available via our SMAX platform as SaaS, and as a standalone product on premises, but SaaS makes HCMX easier to adopt through flexible consumption and licensing models that reduce start-up costs, while helping organizations optimize their cloud utilization,” added De Souza.
The HCMX is a component of the Micro Focus Enterprise Service Management (ESM) platform, which provides modular solutions for Information Technology (IT) Security Management, IT Asset Management, Process Automation, Discovery and Topology, and the aforementioned Cloud Management. All modules use the same service site and catalogue, giving workers a uniform experience and one-stop shopping for any service, from IT to human resources to public cloud consumption.
Micro Focus HCMX SaaS is available through AWS Marketplace, Micro Focus IT Operations Management partners, and Micro Focus directly, with a migration route for existing Micro Focus cloud management clients. HCMX joins Service Management Automation X (SMAX) SaaS and Asset Management X (AMX) SaaS in AWS Marketplace, a digital catalogue with thousands of software entries from independent software vendors that makes it easy to find, test, buy, and deploy software that runs on Amazon Web Services, as part of Micro Focus’ SaaS strategy for their Enterprise Service Management ESM portfolio customers (AWS).
