Skydera Cloud Control

Skydera C3 cloud control is central to managing and understanding your infrastructure.

The complexity of launching and managing cloud deployments – including configuring, securing, managing and analyzing – is the greatest hurdle to moving your applications to the cloud. Skydera removes the complexity with a comprehensive cloud deployment lifecycle management solution.

Get Up and Running in the Cloud

From large enterprises to fast-growth start-ups, Skydera simplifies your migration to the cloud. Skydera is built from the ground up with an inherent understanding of your cloud vendors. Now you can deploy and manage servers in the cloud quickly, efficiently and economically without having to budget for an entire team of experienced cloud professionals. Any authorized member of your IT team can utilize Skydera without prerequisite cloud expertise.

Start running Skydera off-the-shelf in minutes with pre-defined server templates, or customize the number of servers and unique configurations, even import your own scripts into Skydera, and be up and running with the same reliability as your traditional physical environment.

Unify Your Cloud Lifecycle Management

Skydera is a universal management dashboard for multiple deployments with the best-in-breed cloud providers – including Amazon, Rackspace, GoGrid and SliceHost – as well as your internal private cloud. In addition, Terremark, VMware and other major vendors will soon be added to Skydera in the near future. Avoid cloud lock-in by choosing which vendors and how many servers per vendor, and manage the entire system on the Skydera platform as a cohesive heterogeneous unit. Skydera replaces your disparate collection of cloud management applications with a unified toolset covering the entire cloud deployment lifecycle. Reduce cost and risk, and boost your IT agility, by leveraging multiple vendors, without the downside of managing the complexity.

Maximize Your Cloud Investment

What’s the point of migrating to the cloud if your servers are still over-provisioned and underutilized? These are the same challenges you faced with your physical infrastructure. Skydera solves these problems, enabling true pay-per-use cloud resources. Based on thresholds of CPU, memory, disk, and even network bandwidth, Skydera automatically scales your servers up and down to meet demand in real-time. With Skydera auto-scaling, you only pay for the resources you really need.

Skydera works closely with the major cloud providers and provides full access to their infrastructure-as-a- service offerings. This enables Skydera to integrate all the new functionality from each cloud vendor directly into the platform – so as soon as features are available, you can manage them within Skydera.
