RightScale Cloud Management Platform

Overview

RightScale is the leading provider of cloud management solutions that enable you to design, deploy, manage, and automate business-critical applications on the cloud. To date, hundreds of thousands of deployments have been launched on the RightScale Cloud Management Platform – running everything from scalable websites to complex grid applications. Cloud computing represents a tidal shift in the way IT infrastructure operates, enabling greater agility and lower costs across company sizes. RightScale delivers the power of the cloud to every business.

The RightScale Difference

What sets RightScale apart is our unique approach of managing complete deployments – comprising multiple servers and the connections between them – across one or more clouds. Using the RightScale Platform, you’ll be able to operate at a level above the underlying cloud infrastructure with solutions that are architected using best practices for cloud environments. Your deployments will run smoothly, managed by an automation engine that adapts resource allocation as required by system demand, system failures or other events – all based on active monitoring to ensure real-time response to triggers you define.

At every step of the way, you remain in complete control with total visibility into all layers of the cloud infrastructure. This transparency gives you the power to avoid lock-in. Test on one cloud, roll out on another. Architect deployments across clouds to implement disaster recovery plans, provide low-latency access to data, meet security or SLA requirements, or take advantage of better pricing. Maintain your freedom to choose the best cloud environment for your requirements, and the freedom – if needed – to change.

RightScale gets you on the cloud fast with reliable solutions that take less time to manage.

Why RightScale?

Thousands of companies use RightScale every day to run critical business applications in the cloud, leveraging these key benefits:

  • Cloud-Ready ServerTemplates – Even if you have minimal knowledge of cloud architectures, you can take advantage of pre-packaged solutions for common application scenarios to get up and running on the cloud fast. Our wide variety of ServerTemplates incorporate best practice design architectures – so you can focus on your own application and trust in the reliability, resiliency, and performance of other more standard components.
  • Managing Deployments – Rather than manage individual servers, the RightScale Platform enables you to manage entire deployments – groups of servers architected to work together – saving valuable systems administration time and reducing costly errors.
  • Full Automation Across the Deployment Lifecycle – From autoscaling to remediation to automatic configuration, you can achieve a new level of ease in system administration of production deployments – while also providing tools for managing multi-server deployments over their entire lifecycle.
  • Total Control and Transparency – With RightScale’s open architecture, you retain visibility into all levels of your cloud application. Manage, monitor, test, troubleshoot, and re-launch applications with total control. You can also store valuable operations runbook knowledge and break free from the limits of virtual machine images.
  • Eliminate Lock-in with Cloud Portability – Gain the freedom and flexibility to choose among a variety of development languages, software stacks, data stores and cloud providers. Choose the right cloud infrastructure for your unique requirements, whether that involves security and regulatory compliance, geographical location, special features or pricing. Manage and migrate deployments across clouds – public or private – so that you never get locked in to a single provider.

Whether you are just getting started and need a simple on-ramp to the cloud or require support for complex deployments spanning multiple clouds, the RightScale Cloud Management Platform provides complete automation, thereby reducing the administration and complexity of managing cloud deployments, yet giving you the flexibility, control, and portability you need.
