This section explains the operations and maintenance performed by planners.
Planners create concrete specifications of the menus provided by clouds and determine the optimal means of realizing the required service level.
Planners perform the following tasks:
Organizing contracts with cloud providers
Planners evaluate the services offered by cloud providers and arrange contracts.
After arranging contracts, planners request the operators to add the contract information to Cloud Service Management. When arranging a contract with a new cloud provider, planners must also submit a request for the addition of cloud vendor information.
Adding menus
Planners determine the initial costs, basic charges, option charges, etc. for the service usage via Cloud Services Management based on the content of the services provided by the target cloud for a contract. This information is added to Cloud Services Management as a menu, and published. For details on operation procedures for addition and publication, refer to the "FUJITSU Software Cloud Services Management User's Guide for Planner and Operator".
For added menus, instructions are provided for platform providers.
Usage status confirmation
Planners confirm the usage and billing statuses of menus. Usage and billing statuses can be checked from the [Billing Management] window of the Cloud Services Management Cloud Management Portal. For detailed procedures, refer to the "FUJITSU Software Cloud Services Management User's Guide for Planner and Operator".
Menu management
Planners manage contract statuses and also update and add menus when changes are made such as the addition of cloud services.
For details on how to update or add menus, refer to the "FUJITSU Software Cloud Services Management User's Guide for Planner and Operator".
