TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR CLOUD

Cloudreach Launches Control Panel for Amazon Web Services (“AWS”) EC2 at Google I/O Developer Conference in San Francisco.

On May 11 leading UK Google Partner Cloudreach, was invited to launch The Cloudreach Control Panel for EC2 amongst the highly anticipated announcements and innovative products unveiled at this years Google I/O Developers Conference in San Francisco.

A valuable and powerful tool, The Cloudreach Control Panel for EC2 combines the power of Google and AWS, giving an organisation full control of their AWS cloud, from within their GMail account.

Available to download for free from the Google Apps Marketplace, The Cloudreach Control Panel for EC2 allows you to see exactly how many servers are running from your GMail account. You can view this information by AWS account or by deployment, which are logical groups of instances.

The Cloudreach Control Panel for EC2 uses a very powerful and flexible scheduler to start up and shut down servers. With the ability to configure a schedule, choose instances and tags to act on, not only can you view your AWS costs, but you can also directly control these costs from within your GMail account. No more leaving servers to crunch money when they’re not needed. The Cloudreach Control Panel literally saves you money.

James Monico, Technical Director at Cloudreach explains what makes this product so unique and invaluable to AWS customers: “The Control Panel for EC2 shows that Google Apps is more than just mail, and how GMail can become a portal for the most important information in your organisation.”

“This product,” he continues “is perfect for any organisation that uses both Google Apps and AWS. You can control cost and empower your users to take control of their AWS spend. And what’s more, it’s completely free.”

Using Google Apps and AWS together is clearly something James feels is a strong solution for business. “For the enlightened enterprise the combination of Google Apps and AWS addresses the core needs of most IT organisations.”

One of the participants at the Google I/O developer conference said: “This is a fantastic application for us. We use AWS a lot and one of the biggest issues we have is to remember to switch off instances which are no longer used and hence incur unnecessary costs. I already installed it and it is simple, intuitive and simply works a treat!”
