Clarity on the Cloud

Cloud Computing offers the promise of on-demand resources for database environments at a very cost-effective price point. However, building and managing databases on cloud infrastructures requires a great deal of manual effort on the part of the DBA to configure the database, patches, schema, and users. While database vendors may offer prebuilt virtual machines that are preconfigured, the true challenge is transforming that 'plain-vanilla' database into something that actually meets the needs of an end user.

GridApp Clarity automates the following critical areas to drive value from databases on the cloud:

• Automatically deploy databases according to your company standard

• Automatically apply databases patches so newly created databases conform to your company patch standard

• Seamlessly migrate data between in-premises databases and cloud databases

• Seamlessly backup data to the cloud to provide a simple and cost-effective method for disaster recovery and offsite backup

GridApp Clarity provides a single console of all your databases, whether they are local, remote or on a third party cloud. Cloud resources automatically appear in the console ready for database deployment, patching, data migration, backup or any other common database activities that Clarity supports.

So whether you are interested in embracing a capacity-on-demand model, looking for a remote backup solution or creating test environments for a custom application, Clarity eliminates the time and pain of implementing and configuring your database on the Cloud.

GridApp Clarity is certified with Amazon EC2 and GoGrid and is supported on all major cloud platforms.
