Datacenter As A Service : Cloud Management Center

Introduction

The DAAS Cloud Management Center (CMC) is a flash-based user interface allowing you full control over your IT infrastructure. It has been designed to ease server and application management while providing built-in monitoring and reporting.

Virtual private datacenter

The Cloud Management Center is the operator's interface to a complete Virtual Private Datacenter (VPDC). On top of your dedicated Cloud Units, you can define your own virtual datacenters, serving your customers. These virtual datacenters could for example host a group of database servers or web servers.

All this can managed through both the GUI and the API.

The Cloud Management Center dashboard :

Auto provisioning of infrastructure

Create additional servers with just the click of a button or using a script. Do you want to be able to launch an additional application server once a certain threshold is met ? Use our intuitive Cloud API and the DAAS provisioning engine to bring live servers in minutes instead of days.

The 'Create virtual server' wizard :

Note that you can choose CPU, Memory, Disk sizes, Networking Interfaces and more for your virtual servers.

Drag and drop datacenter design

The Virtual Datacenter Control (VDC) allows you to drag and drop additional servers and capacity on demand.

An example Virtual Datacenter design :

Roll back resources

All virtual infrastructure is automatically snapshotted every 15 minutes creating multiple recovery points in case something needs to be rolled back.

Other then snapshotting and roll-back, the DAAS solution offers many more server controls, such as start, stop, connect and many more.

An example of the commands available for virtual servers :

Integrated monitoring

Your private dedicated cloud comes with integrated monitoring tools that make sure your IT environment remains healthy and that escalate any issues.

As an example, we take a look at the monitoring page of one of our physical dedicated nodes :

Extensive Cloud API

The DAAS solutions comes with an extensive API that lets you integrate your IT infrastructure with existing or new applications, such as monitoring or automation tools.

It is also possible to build your own graphical shell on top of our solution, as everything action and all information that is visible in the Cloud Management Center (CMC) is retrieved trough the Cloud API.
