Q: What is CloudController and how does it work? A: CloudController Software is an innovative platform bridging the gap between the corporate data center and back-office processes. CloudController is designed to automate, control and simplify the complete range of tasks involved with creating and running IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) in Private, Public and Hybrid Cloud environments, thereby reducing Total Cost of Ownership. Our multi-tiered user and role hierarchy provides both Corporate and Service Provider customers with the functionality and business process integration required to service multiple classes of internal and external customers all with the simplicity of a secure, web- based management application interface. By enabling organizations to utilize their VDC as a cloud-based platform for delivering managed services, CloudController allows them to realize significant savings in their Total Cost of Ownership and Operations. Provides a unique independent layer for unification of the different hypervisors, giving end customers a single interface that can be easily implemented, while at the same time offering flexibility with regard to being integrated into existing environments. CloudController allows organizations to automate most operational management tasks and transfer the provisioning and control directly to end users, enabling them to focus their crucial resources on IT critical tasks instead of having to concern themselves with manual, administrative and repetitive tasks. CloudController also incorporates a 2-tier business model, allowing Service Providers to resell their IaaS through a distribution channel they set-up in the software themselves.
