Features

Persistent MultiCloud Management Platform is a unified solution to pool multiple computing and infrastructure resources attached to private and public clouds under one unified management solution. It is an inclusive model of interoperability and coexistence to manage various public cloud entities, and collaboratively manage cross-platform infrastructure resources seamlessly from a single interface.

Registering a trial account

Get the URL of the platform from the root of your organization and register as a trial user to the Platform. Enter some basic information, verify your email address, and you are good to use the Platform.

Setting billing subscription

A cloud subscription is a package a customer purchases to provision the plan and perform activities for a cloud account. Configure a cloud service and enable secrets. To protect access to your applications, services, and IT resources, the secrets service enables you to rotate, manage, and retrieve database credentials, API keys, and other secrets throughout their lifecycle.

Configuring services and clouds

To use this platform effectively, configure external services such as the CAS and Directory Servers, the Secrets Services, and the Ticketing System, and then add your cloud providers for your organization and move resources across clouds.

Adding users

To manage cross-platform infrastructure resources seamlessly from a single interface, the Platform allows you to create users with distinct roles and permissions. Administrators can configure a directory server and then import Active Directory users.

Provisioning projects and workspaces

For your organization, create departments and projects, assign users to tasks, and create workspaces using blueprints.

Provisioning blueprints

Blueprints help you deploy, manage, and monitor solutions for their customers in the cloud environment. The Platform deploys repeatable, scalable service catalog portfolios including a mix of services and third-party applications.

Setting disaster recovery

The Platform supports the Disaster and Recovery Management System (DRMS) to ensure your infrastructure data is always backed up and recoverable. This Platform also replicates data to perform the migration of resources to move resources from one cloud provider to the next.

Migrating resources

Migration is a planned activity where an organization schedules and plans the replication of cloud resources to another server to ensure data backup and safeguard cloud resources. This Platform performs migrates cloud resources across servers from different cloud providers.

Using Kubernetes

The Platform supports the Kubernetes service to run containerized services using the Kubernetes clusters. Kubernetes provides a unified way to manage your applications and infrastructure.

Billing

The Platform supports the Billing Server to track and collect the resource usage data and show the pricing of resources.

Ticketing

A ticketing service enables you to distribute and log incidents, and then assign them to a staff member. The Platform supports Salesforce as the ticketing service.

Compare costs of resources from cloud providers

Use the Platform for cost-benefit analysis that help the organization understand and manage the costs and get insights on the profitability of using different cloud computing resources from various cloud providers.

Exporting cloud infrastructure to the platform

The Platform has a unique ability to export resources and store them in Terraform state files. Pull resources created by other means and bring them under this Platform.

Importing and migrating resources across cloud providers

Importing instances is the process of getting VM instances from a private cloud such as Rovius CP to a cloud computing environment. Migrating instances help move existing workloads and applications to another cloud provider to leverage the existing infrastructure configurations.

Integrating Slackbot

Slackbot is an instant messaging platform and a virtual assistant for the Slack communication platform. Use Slackbot to call Persistent MultiCloud Management Platform APIs to get automated responses to specific messages or commands to improve productivity by automating routine tasks such as creating workspaces using template IDs in a cloud environment.

Onboarding customers to the platform

The Platform supports the hierarchy of organizations and their child organizations to onboard within the same hierarchy. The account administrator earns a margin from customer sub-accounts that access the resources, services, and capabilities of an account.

Publishing blueprints

A root administrator creates blueprints and publishes them for various accounts on the Platform to use these unique and popular blueprints to quickly create workspaces.

Configuring services

A root administrator configures third-party services that support the cloud infrastructure of your organization. This video shows how you can configure services such as provisioning and managing cloud providers, billing services to generate costs of resources, Disaster Recovery and Migration to back up resources in workspaces, and Secret Services to protect your data.

Adding customers

A root administrator adds customers and accounts who can use the various services and features of the Platform.

Adding subscriptions

A root administrator configures various types of cloud subscriptions and capabilities that are available for various accounts. Configuring cloud subscriptions allows an account to select the duration, price, and capability for various plans. Cloud capabilities define the features you can use in each type of subscription. You can define multiple subscriptions with combinations of different capabilities and prices for account administrators to select and use for their accounts.

Adding sub-accounts or customers to an account

A root administrator configures support for customers (sub-accounts) in a tenant account. The Platform supports the hierarchy of organizations and their child organizations to onboard within the same hierarchy.

Integrating Slackbot with the Platform

Use Slackbot to call the Platform APIs that give programmed responses to messages. Improve productivity by automating routine tasks such as creating workspaces using blueprint IDs in a cloud environment.

Approving DRMS request

A root administrator approves a disaster recovery or migration request raised by account administrators to back up workspaces and resources.
