Easily Manage Your Cloud Infrastructure

You may not own your cloud infrastructure, but you still need to manage it. Close monitoring is essential to make sure you use only the resources you need—and that you reduce your cloud infrastructure at times when you need less capacity. Otherwise, you might not only be paying for unneeded resources, but also be initiating “cloud sprawl” (adding more systems when you currently have underutilized systems). The higher costs of such over-provisioning can cancel out the benefits of cloud computing.

UC4 can help you easily stay on top of your cloud infrastructure—without adding additional staff. It can automate your IT run books, execute commands to provision additional systems when the workload requires them, and automatically decommission systems that are no longer required.

With UC4’s complex event processing (CEP) capabilities, it will apply real-time intelligence to the management of your cloud infrastructure, making automated decisions based on rules you create. It can even anticipate upcoming peak loads (such as those that occur at month-end closing) and provision the necessary capacity in advance, avoiding performance slowdowns.

UC4 can also initiate and monitor normal system management routines, such as backups, file system maintenance, and other IT housekeeping processes. When taking snapshot backups, it can even make sure to shut down applications and verify that no processes are in flight when the snapshot is created.

With UC4 in charge of your cloud infrastructure, you can be confident that you’ll be getting optimal performance at the lowest possible costs, while also ensuring business continuity.
