Process Modeling and Automation

Control Plan Editor

Tap In allows you to model any IT process with its Control Plan Editor. This graphical tool allows you to create a model of your process using Petri Net modeling techniques. Your model can be triggered by events from Tap In's Cloud Management Service, or by user defined tasks. You can also invoke cloud services from vendor APIs from this tool. Templates are provided for controlling Amazon EC2 or S3, GoGrid, Rackspace and Terremark services.

The Control Plan Editor has the following features.

Can represent any Petri Net as a workflow model.
Can execute Ruby or Java programs as process tasks.
Trigger model state transitions with
- Monitoring system events
- Database contents
- Cloud vendor API calls
- Operator dialog boxes
- Any Ruby/Java script logic
Shows state of modeled process in graphical map, allowing easy interpretation of application status.
Contains many cloud automation samples and templates to ease development.

This product allows cloud services to fit YOUR IT processes and policy, rather than forcing you to fit a cloud vendor's process.
