Governance And Analytics

For when you know you want to really stick it to your engineers, but you don't have the authority to do so.

When creating your cloud resources, many customers believe in creating accounts and services in an organized structure, with consistent naming standards, clear and obvious tags, and policies that allow for the effective use of resources by all and only those who should have access. Hahahaha, nerds! 

Well, TRC Disorganizations is the tool for the real world. Disorganizations shows you all the ways your accounts, payers, resources, PVCs and namespace domains relate to one another, however you create them. 

Do you have an account called "jim_test" running your production customer database? Us too!   that's cool, though. TRC Disorganizations don't judge.    

Cloudglance - the mall rent-a-cop of TheRobCloud ecosystem. Generally watches what goes on in a lot of cases with many of your services, hypothetically. Compatibility with any other TheRobCloud service is on the roadmap! Warning: may be outside by the dumpster smoking.

Have you opened a new location, redesigned your shop, or added a new product or service? Don't keep it to yourself, let folks know.

When it comes to managing your systems, any systems manager can do that.  And manager of manager systems are also nothing new.  Systems that manage manager of manager systems are the latest trend in the xOps community, but the question TRC wants to ask is, who manages the systems that serve as manager of managers to the system managers managing the manager of manager systems? That's where Manager of Manager Systems System Manager comes in, and really manages to manage these systems in ways that no system manager could manage to manage them before. Now with MongoDB compatibility!    

There's gold in them thar data

When it comes to Business Intelligence, speed matters. How many times have you been rushing to get that report out the door only to find a ridiculous typo, miscalculation, missing column or strangely behaving macro has ruined not only the reporting but your reputation for providing any sort of meaningful information to management at all, Jim! Well take a deep breath. Slow down a bit. 

Welcome to TRC Slowsight. We take our time analyzing your data. You know why? It's big! How can you look at all this data and visualize it all at once? Slow and steady wins the race here, and we won't provide you with any result we haven't fully verified in person with our crack staff of human analyst. So relax, we'll get you those reports. And they'll be 100% accurate or we won't send them! Now the pressure's off you, go grab a smoke. I'm sure the results will be processed soon. 

Cloud always costs less. Right?

Understanding your costs and usage are critical to any cloud service. Particularly because things are virtual, you can't wander around the freezing datacenter counting the flashy red lights like you used to. Cost Exploder is just the tool you need. TRC bills you by the microsecond, so we allow you to report at the industry's most granular level. See all your costs and when you used them, and pay only for the microseconds you use. 

Cost Exploder lets you dive deep into the billing cloud that is your cost and usage data to see where your costs are coming from. When you launch Cost Exploder, over 700TB of data are generated and helpfully stored in your local S2 pails so that you can analyze all your cost. Then we automatically launch a Slowsight analytics platform for you to report on it. 

Next, we use your billing data to feed into our patented Gandalf artificial intelligence engine to train it on what your billing is supposed to look like, so that it can spot future usage anomalies and make recommendations for savings. 

And last, we feed all of the output from all of those services into our Kinetic Firehouse service, just because it's a stream, and streams are cool. There is no charge to use Cost Exploder, though storage and usage charges on the other services will run you about $12 grand each month. But hey, we'll detail it out for you next month!

Our billing service, denominated in Venezuelan Bolivars, Italian Lire or Reichsmarks. Your choice. Watch your bill grow and shrink elastically, seemingly without your intervention or control!
