The Cloud Cascade Engine runs inside your company on your own hardware.

• Cloud providers won't have any access to it.
• All security related data like encryption or ssh keys are stored only on it.
• You keep the full control over the server and all the data which it handles.

Activate EBS storage encryption

• activate only for selected or all cloud providers
• force encrypted storage as the only storage place on data copy
• all encryption is done transparently in the background
• automatic encryption key management in the background

Cloud Cascade Engine automatically manages all Storage and SSH encryption keys

• keys are stored and managed automatically
• cloud provider has no access to the encryption keys
• storage encryption keys are never stored in the cloud
• only public SSH keys are injected in to cloud instance, private keys are always save inside of WM.AIS
• prevent keys export, so no bypassing of CCE on cloud and data access
• as keys are saved inside your company a recovery on user leave can be done by admins

Cloud as easy as e-mail.

• Cloud Cascade Engine provides a simple web based user interface
• use the same interface for different cloud providers and technologies
• don't waste effort on training all the different user interfaces of different cloud providers
• built-in HTML5 Web SSH Client allows instant one-click ssh access to cloud instances

Keep cloud usage compliant to your company rules.

• define cloud vendors and locations which certain users are allowed to use
• define instance images and instance types
• define quotas
• automatically apply a baseline with corporate rules to all cloud instances
• define, restrict and control which data is used in the cloud
• define global, mandatory system and security settings
• define additional system and security settings based on certain criteria (e.g. cloud provider, location, users group)
• define system and security settings which users are free to change
• track and archive cloud usage:
• cloud session details
• resources which were used in the cloud
• which data was transfered and proceed during the cloud session
• anonymize the above data if required by local law

Apply security related settings to your cloud instances

• select security related configuration settings from wintermute.ai provided library
• define your own security related settings by using ADS or in-house configuration management systems
• define mandatory security settings based on certain criteria
• define additional security settings which can be activated by users
• ensure cloud instances are fully patched with most recent software updates
• provide a simple way to patch instances during systems life time

All data transfer will be done encrypted, encryption keys will be managed by Cloud Cascade Engine automatically in the background.

• all data transfers are automatically encrypted
• encryption key management in the background
• define, restrict and control that only allowed data is used in the cloud
• data transfers from defined corporate storage shares, without misusing users workstation as proxy
• data transfers managed directly by Cloud Cascade Engine, no need for users client to be connected/online all the time

Integrate your corporate services in to Cloud Cascade Engine

• connect Cloud Cascade Engine to corporate directory service (e.g. LDAP, AD)
• specify which users will have cloud access
• create user clones on the cloud instances without bringing your directory service in to the cloud
• integrate your local configuration management systems (e.g. puppet) in a secure way
• use powerful UDS scripting for instance customization

Cloud Cascade Engine will provide support for multiple cloud providers and technologies. This will provide following benefits:

• use the same interface for different cloud backends
• train your business only to use one interface
• apply the same configuration and security settings on different providers
• create the most suitable mix of external and internal cloud use
• avoid vendor lock-in
• add or remove new cloud providers transparently and without business interruption
• select cloud provider based on certain criteria:
• SLA's
• price
• security level
• location

built-in HTML5 Web SSH Client:

• one-click SSH access to the client
• direct access from your browser
• no need for 3rd party, standalone ssh client
• no SSH keys export and import into 3rd party client software
• no fiddling with cryptic cloud instance host names

Customize Cloud Instances:

• activate security settings from wintermute.ai security library
• apply instance customization with powerful UDS scripting
• manage instance services
• manage local instance users
• manage instance software packages
• optional delegate parts of the above instance customization to users
• integrate 3rd party configuration management tools (e.g. puppet, chef, ansible)

Use the powerful feature of saving cloud sessions parameters as templates for restarting anytime later

• save your complex cloud session setup as a template with one click and re-use it later
• share your templates with other users within your team or company
• build a comprehensive library of easy to use cloud scenarios
• as admin create templates where only limited number of parameters can be changed
