GoGrid And Tap In Systems Partner To Bring Cloud Management Services To GoGrid's Cloud Infrastructure
GoGrid, the cloud computing division of ServePath, LLC, and Tap In Systems, developers of a new cloud-based systems management service, announce a partnership to implement Tap In's Cloud Management Service (CMS) into the GoGrid cloud infrastructure. Using Tap In Systems' technology within the GoGrid cloud allows customers to easily monitor their applications for critical alerts, system utilization and other important notifications.
Tap In Systems' Cloud Management Service (CMS) is a cloud-based, scalable monitoring service which manages both cloud and on-premises systems, providing status and performance data, alerts and reporting to keep applications running smoothly. CMS is able to provide monitoring in a single cloud, across different cloud architectures, as well as in hybrid (cloud and on-premise) environments - all visible and controlled from the same desktop interface. Tap In's service is deployed as an on-demand service and billed per instance hour or monthly, with the ability for customers to turn monitoring instances on/off as needed, as well as scale up/down as infrastructure grows.
"As a leading cloud infrastructure provider, GoGrid provides a range of cloud computing offerings that complement Tap In System's monitoring service," said Peter Loh, Founder and CEO, Tap In Systems. "GoGrid customers now have the ability to organize their IT infrastructure across multiple platforms without losing critical monitoring functionality."
"GoGrid's deep expertise in hosting, coupled with Tap In Systems' breadth of experience in enterprise-class monitoring, creates a powerful combination for companies wanting to take full advantage of the Cloud," said John Keagy, CEO, GoGrid. "As companies are deploying more hybrid IT environments, Tap In Systems is able to provide enterprise-class monitoring required to maintain optimal performance of systems and applications."
Availability GoGrid will begin offering customers Tap In Systems' Cloud Management Service (CMS) starting Summer 2009. Tap In Systems' Cloud Management Service (CMS) currently provides support for Amazon Web Service (AWS). CMS is deployed as an on-demand service and billed per instance hour or monthly, with the ability for customers to turn monitoring instances on/off as needed, as well as scale up/down as infrastructure grows.
