Developing role of ADC into managing cloud computing transactions: Zeus Cloud GatewayAddresses pain points of organisations working with or in the cloud: private clouds, public clouds, hybrid clouds.Interface between P,V & C – so helps with migratiion of services & apps into the cloud “on-ramp”Irrespective of how cloud being used: whether for bursting to provide additional capacity, or enterprise deployment on-premises with additional services in the cloud, or whether full enterprise deployment into the cloud.Common set of pain points to be addressed:I need to control how my apps interact with the cloud, and to ensure cloud usage complies with defined business policies for data sharing and privacyI need to ensure my interactions with the cloud are secureI need to be able to log & audit my interactions with the cloudI must only share data with trusted partiesI need to use the cloud cost-effectively, so want to find the least expensive offering availableI want to use the cloud to provide extra capacity, and need to ensure cloud-based apps are secureI need to ensure my apps meet SLAs, and I depend on services provided in the cloudI need to have visibility of cloud usage and bottlenecks in real time, to enable me to diagnose and resolve problemsZeus CG interacts with ZXTMs deployed in the cloud, providing availability and performance information. Zeus CG interacts with APIs from cloud providers to locate in-cloud apps and services, which may get moved, across single or multiple clouds.Zeus CG can also trigger actions, such as notifying the cloud provisioning system things that additional traffic volume is to be expected, and the cloud responds by deploying additional resources or capacity elastically to increase available capacity until it is no longer required.Zeus CG
