CloudController

InContinuum Software is a Dutch privately held LLC that offers its customers innovative end-to-end solutions to enable their users to automate and manage the configuration, delivery, and utilization of cloud-based managed services across both private and public computing environments.

For organizations capitalizing on virtual infrastructures or providing back-office services, the client needed a dedicated platform that would automate virtual machine deployments, application virtualization and deployments, and virtual SAN deployments.

The client sought a reliable partner with a proven track record in the field, selecting EffectiveSoft to fulfill the mission.

We created CloudController, an enterprise-grade solution that streamlines the deployment and management of cloud infrastructure on-premises or in the cloud. It offers a centralized web interface to support deploying and configuring virtual servers on multiple platforms including VMware vCenter, Citrix XenServer, Oracle VM, RedHat Enterprise Virtualization, OpenStack, Microsoft System Center, and Microsoft Service Provider Foundation. It also integrates with leading cloud providers such as Amazon EC2, Microsoft Azure, and IBM Cloud to ensure wider applicability for businesses leveraging different cloud ecosystems.

The platform also automates application virtualization with support for Numecent Jukebox and Microsoft App-V, as well as virtual SAN deployments leveraging ScaleIO EMC technology.

To enhance CloudController, we incorporated support for custom automation scripts that can be executed both on the server and on each deployed machine, offering an additional layer of automation flexibility.

Built using C# and TypeScript, powered by Microsoft SQL Server, with LINQ to SQL for data management, CloudController ensures scalability and efficient database interactions with its intuitive API.

Business models supported

• Private cloud: for virtual server management within organizations.
• Public cloud: for providers offering virtual servers and resources to end-users.

For public cloud users, the platform provides a complete back office package with invoicing, chargebacks, VAT calculation, and payment processing.

The solution’s user-friendly, responsive UI offers advanced charting capabilities, providing a full overview of the system load.

The launch of CloudController was a success, exceeding all expectations. The client expressed considerable satisfaction, since the launch of the platform also resulted in tangible value, attracting new investors. The solution has been under continual development and enhancement to ensure it keeps pace with the evolving technological landscape, thus opening new opportunities for growth and investments.
