Arrow Electronics introduced a series of significant updates to its cloud management platform ArrowSphere to help ease multicloud and hybrid cloud monitoring. The updates are focused on three key pillars of cloud business excellence: sustainability (GreenOps), cost optimization (FinOps) and security (SecOps). The addition of the GreenOps, FinOps, and SecOps dashboards provides an aggregated view of all cloud accounts that a channel partner manages. This helps to improve cost management and security analysis, while addressing the deepening global environmental call to action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, including in response to the upcoming EU regulation CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive). Key updates include:
GreenOps - The sustainability dashboard is designed to help channel partners build solutions that make a minimal impact on the environment. As environmental regulations put increased pressure on businesses to report their carbon emissions, ArrowSphere?s sustainability dashboard comes with reporting capabilities as well as a global monitoring tool for channel partners and their customers to measure the carbon footprint of their cloud activities. FinOps - The cost optimization dashboard allows channel partners to make informed decisions with their customers on how to optimize their cloud spend. With visibility across the entire cloud estate via a consolidated dashboard, it delivers recommendations where spend can be adjusted. SecOps - The security dashboard delivers a unique scoring system, where 100% means complete security coverage. This allows channel partners to see at-a-glance the security posture of their entire end-customer base, identify potential threats, and take proactive action.
