Skytap enables enterprises to accelerate their transition to the cloud by reducing the complexity and time needed to set up and configure a hybrid cloud. Prior to Skytap, enterprise customers had to use a variety of hardware and software tools to create a hybrid cloud. This process required significant time and IT resources. Skytap's hybrid cloud solution enables IT managers to set up a secure, bi-directional IPSec tunnel using a web UI. Functional users are then empowered to create hybrid cloud deployments with point and click ease. Key features of the Skytap solution include:
enables functional users to create multi-machine virtual data centers using hybrid cloud architecture in seconds.
delivers secure desktop-level access to virtual machines running in the hybrid cloud using modern browsers.
allows users to snapshot an entire VDC environment in under a minute and maintain persistent hybrid cloud connections.
enables IT managers to create granular access control lists and set up policy management rules. Access control lists created to maintain security would be enforced across hybrid cloud connections.
provides collaboration capabilities for distributed teams to work and share virtual data center environments as easily as sharing URLs.
provides advanced routing between configurations and capability to set up security policies to manage communications between cloud instances and specific corporate subnets.
enables IT managers to control hybrid cloud resources through a rich Web services (REST) API.
