Arcus offers full support for private, DoD, and commercial Cloud and Platform providers including VMWare, Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, OpenStack, Kubernetes, OpenShift and more. You can leverage a host of capabilities no matter how your organization does Cloud.
Express Interface
A streamlined landing page and control panel for users interested in using stuff, not building stuff. The power users (builders) on the team can publish what systems and environments are available for the consuming users to jump right in on.
Containers
Build and deploy container images on lightweight and/or full platforms inside your Arcus cloudspace boundaries. Enable the automated install and configuration of the platform orchestration tool of choice.
Storage Service
Users can now create and manage storage solutions in their cloud providers through the Arcus UI. With this new feature, users can then access that storage from their deployed systems using a secure token approach.
Automation
On-demand workflows are the key to productivity. Choose the level of automation you are comfortable with and schedule them to happen now, at a certain time, or when resources are available. What you want, when you need it!
Remote Access
Secure, browser-based remote access to your systems in the Cloud, no plug-in required! Choose your preferred connection protocol — SSH, RDP, or VNC. You can also copy/paste text and move files in and out over the same connection.
Asset Library
The Asset Library contains the resources needed to build simple or complex systems and images — compute, network, software, configurations, licenses, tests, source code, and more. In this multi-tenant space, users have full control over their library as well as access to shared resources from the community.
Configuration Management
Arcus designs provide full control of how your systems are built and configured from top to bottom. No more missing configuration steps or surprises caused by human error. And by continually deploying from your standard configurations, they are constantly validated for accuracy.
Adaptive Framework
Arcus is built to allow for continued expansion — new Cloud technologies, additional container Platform, more test tools, alternate provisioning methods, etc. Flexibility is the key, as there is no single way to solve a problem.
Elastic Test Resources
Automated provisioning of on-demand assessment tools directly into the local Cloudspace provides simpler, more comprehensive testing and better security scanning inside of physical or virtual boundaries.
Governance & Control
Through the use of asset states, data impact level, and sharing controls, users can manage access to assets as they move through the develop-maintain-retire lifecycle and control where and when they can be deployed. Consist control features automate the process to reduce cloud spend in off hours.
Security Stack
Automate the execution of security stack components — vulnerability assessment, policy engines, patch resources, penetration testing, etc. — to actively manage resource consumption and reduce overall exposure to risk.
Scheduled Provisioning
Through the use of recurring schedules and defined lease times, users can schedule Deployment Runs to occur on a periodic basis based on times and intervals and have their resources automatically released after a certain amount of time or at a specific date and time.
Extend the Cloud
Incorporate appliances, devices, tablets, phones, Internet of Things (IoT) and more into the automated deployment process and integrate with cloud-based resources. System designs can even be exported for execution in offline environments, anywhere, while maintaining discipline and control.
Cloud Portability
Lay down the Cloudspace security infrastructure and rapidly deploy the same design to any Cloud provider. Make deployment decisions in real-time based upon the critical criteria for the task — cost, performance, security, location, etc.
ReST API & Integrations
Integrate Arcus with current tools for a more comprehensive workflow. Automate the automation!
Organizations have already driven Arcus for millions of hours in development, test, and production environments. Built from the start to support operations in highly restricted networks and locked down security zones, Arcus is packed with features to ease the burden of doing business in the cloud, without stifling productivity.
We are constantly responding to user feedback with new or refined solutions to help organizations automate, integrate, and deliver their products to better support their customers. For more information on new features and fixes, see the change log.
