Core
Components
of
the
Platform
Nephos
Technologies
provides
the
opportunity
to
automate
a
number
of
the
processes
associated
with
provisioning
real-­‐time
architecture
in
the
Cloud.
This
is
key
to
maintaining
the
availability
of
your
services
–
no
doubt
your
internal
infrastructure
has
not
been
deliberately
built
with
single
points
of
failure
so
there’s
no
reason
to
construct
Cloud
architecture
with
them
either.
We
enable
automation
of
the
following
core
components:
1) Auto-­‐Provisioning:
Define
application
deployment
architectures
quickly
and
intuitively—then
let
Nephos
Technologies
handle
deployment
to
one
or
more
clouds
of
your
choice.
We
integrate
with
existing
application
deployment
processes
and
tools,
including
Chef
and
Puppet.
2) Auto-­‐Scaling:
Create
scaling
policies
around
the
data
you
wish
to
measure,
such
as
transaction
rates,
page
load
times,
etc.
Then,
use
these
policies
in
the
cloud
services
and/or
regions
that
make
the
most
sense
for
your
application.
You
can
maintain
automation
for
your
applications
from
a
single
platform
and
console.
3) Automated
recovery:
Restart
failed
components
of
your
applications
automatically
based
on
policies
you
set.
Our
platform
has
built-­‐in
disaster
recovery
to
restore
data
from
your
last
backup,
in
case
of
a
catastrophic
system
failure.
4) Automated
Backups:
Snapshots
of
images
and
data
are
captured
on
a
user-­‐defined
schedule.
You
can
place
snapshots
in
supported
third
party
cloud
storage
services
for
increased
disaster
avoidance.
And,
snapshots
can
be
encrypted
for
increased
security.
5) Smart
Cloud
Topology:
Nephos
Technologies
automatically
distributes
applications
across
availability
zones,
regions
or
cloud
services.
We
also
distribute
load
across
application
components
residing
in
one
or
more
cloud
services.
