At RightScale, we believe that your adoption of cloud computing should start here – by selecting a cloud management platform to help you. The RightScale Cloud Management Platform provides a layer of abstraction between your apps and the cloud. It offers a fast on-ramp with proven, cloud-ready solutions. It improves productivity and agility by delivering management tools and automation. And it offers complete transparency and user administration to keep you in control at all times. If you need to migrate to a different cloud for any reason, RightScale ensures your applications are portable. The RightScale Platform operates with an ever-growing list of public cloud infrastructure providers including Amazon, Rackspace, GoGrid, Flexiscale, and public or private clouds built with Eucalyptus or vCloud Express.
RightScale’s Platform is also a complete cloud management environment that delivers automation with control and portability. Using our cloud ready solutions, tested by thousands of users, you can get on the cloud fast and reliably. As you deploy applications, the RightScale platform provides a wide range of automation from dynamic configuration of servers at run-time to auto-scaling to automated support for maintenance and remediation. And rather than managing individual servers, with the RightScale platform you manage entire systems or what we call deployments – groups of servers architected to work together and adapt to events as required to deliver your applications. The result is more predictable and reliable systems, and dramatically improved productivity and agility. By freeing you and your staff from routine, repetitive tasks and fire drills, RightScale lets you to focus on improving the IT services that drive your business ahead. With RightScale, you won’t loose control or the insights gained from your experience with cloud computing. RightScale’s management platform includes user permission and cost management - the administrative tools you need to maintain IT control and visibility across multiple users, departments, and customers. As you deploy applications in the cloud, you are building a repository of corporate cloud computing best practices, a corporate CMDB (configuration management database) for the cloud. With documented best practices it’s easy to achieve operational excellence and execute corporate governance strategies.Finally, RightScale preserves your options for the future. While there may not be many clouds today, you’ll want to retain the flexibility to choose the best cloud for each application tomorrow.
