Users will have access to a single console for managing, monitoring and recording the used computing resources, a set of infrastructure services that allow them to implement standardization of technological processes, as well as a large selection of platform services with support from a domestic vendor, tested by industrial loads and ready for any tasks

Cloud.ru Evolution Stack is a modular cloud platform for creating a private, hybrid or distributed cloud taking into account the existing IT landscape of the company. The software is reliable and fault tolerant during industrial operation, since it was tested on the real loads of corporate clients in the public cloud Cloud.ru Evolution, which is built on the same technological stack and has a single code base with the distribution kit.

The platform is suitable for companies that need to expand and compress their infrastructure in real time. The software will allow customers to implement hybrid scenarios and flexibly use both their own computing resources and the resources of the public Cloud.ru cloud: this will provide transparency of consumption and the ability to distribute peak loads between the public and private clouds to optimize IT infrastructure costs. For companies with heterogeneous IT landscapes, the Cloud.ru Evolution Stack provides third-party virtualization management. Managing from a single window at times simplifies the process of migrating virtual infrastructure to an import-replaced solution.

The Evolution Stack Cloud.ru will also help companies with a wide branch network process and store data in geographically distributed satellite clouds, implementing the concept of edge computing. A similar option for the implementation of a private cloud will also be provided to customers in the form of hardware and software complexes based on server equipment from domestic manufacturers.

Before introducing the platform into the company's contour, Cloud.ru experts will analyze the existing IT landscape, determine the appropriate architecture and set of suitable platform services, perform installation and commissioning, implement the necessary integrations with existing corporate software, and conduct a full briefing of the customer's operations services on the administration and management of the solution.
