CloudControl Service
You’ve made the move – now what?
You just deployed your application in the cloud. Your PaaS provider tells you the infrastructure is humming – servers are available, CPU is fine, plenty of memory for your computing needs, and gobs of storage so you never run out.
But what if you need to scale your application? What about your operations and business processes? How do you incorporate and automate these to include your cloud applications? This is certainly beyond the scope of your PaaS provider’s offerings.
Cloud automation requires different capabilities than traditional management. It is likely you’re using multiple vendors for your cloud needs and therefore need integration with heterogeneous cloud infrastructures. In addition, you are likely to run a hybrid private/public infrastructure, and need a unified view of all your applications. As your resource needs change, you may need to auto-scale your cloud consumption in reaction to demand.
The Solution: Tap In Systems CloudControl
Tap In Systems created CloudControl, a module of CloudSuite, to provide process automation and control for your operations.
CloudControl allows line-of business managers, operators and developers to collaborate, document and automate operations processes, called “Control Plans“, using a visio-like graphical interface. Unlike other process diagramming solutions, CloudControl allows you to create living, actionable plans that you can execute to automate your processes. In addition, CloudControl is packaged with libraries of Control Plans to help you with auto-scaling, archiving, backup and many others. CloudControl is integrated with Tap In Systems’ Cloud Management Service – an application availability and performance management solution that interfaces to major cloud providers and can even leverage your existing monitoring and management solutions.
CloudControl is offered as a service that resides in your chosen cloud vendor’s platform or as an on premise solution running in your data center.
CloudControl Benefits
CloudControl is integrated with and runs on your preferred cloud vendor’s platform. CloudControl supports hybrid private/public cloud out of box, leverages and integrates with your existing monitoring and management software to provide you with a unified view of all your applications.
Finally, CloudControl is built to support your enterprise with distributed and high availability configurations to give you peace of mind that your applications are running under control.
