PRODUCT OVERVIEW auto.sky is a full cloud service orchestration for your Windows application. With auto.sky you can migrate your ERP or any legacy Windows application to the cloud and enjoy all the native advantages of this environment such as scalability, elasticity, high availability, CAPEX reduction and flexible licensing. All without the burden of managing or even acquiring a single piece of equipment. auto.sky is based on the Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) model and you pay for the number of users that access the system. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Most of the modern companies today still rely on software tools that have been develop along the past decades and were not design to operate in the cloud environment. Also known as Enterprise Resource Planning or just ERPs, these tools are critical and they require specific hardware that must be acquired and maintained on the company s premises or eventually on third party datacenters in the form of colocations'. These equipments must be sized for peak hours of utilization representing a significant CAPEX with aggressive depreciation and obsolescence figures. In most cases the maintenance of these systems represents a major technical challenge for companies that are not focused on TI but need to keep their tools and data safe and accessible all the time within a reduced and controlled OPEX. auto.sky was designed to revolutionize the way companies deploy their ERPs. With auto.sky you can migrate your legacy applications to the Cloud using all the benefits of this environment such as elasticity, scalability, high availability, CAPEX reduction and flexible licensing. auto.sky orchestrates your whole ERP infrastructure on top of the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud, which is the largest and most sophisticated cloud environment in the market, and enables your legacy applications to behave similarly as the native web applications with regards to the cloud resource consumption. With auto.sky you install your Windows application in a virtual machine specifically created for this purpose. This instance already contains the connect.sky virtualization software that allows you to access your application via any Web Browser. Once the installation is complete, auto.sky uses this instance to build the source image of your application. This image will be used to spin up as many virtual machines as required to accommodate the demand of your users. The users access the application in the cloud from any operating system (Windows, Linux, Mac OSX, ios and Android) using just a modern browser. Your application runs completely on the datacenter and the user just receive the software graphical interface. With a 30Kbps bandwidth per session, the user perception is as good as a local software installation. The scalability is handled by auto.sky, which monitors your whole environment and create new instances on demand. As new users connect, auto.sky routes them to the best instance available.!1
CONFIGURATION& MONITORING& OPERATORS& SLA& SCALE& AUTHENTICATION& CONTROL& ERP&ENVIRONMENT& ACCESS& INTERNET& USERS& ARCHITECTURE auto.sky is fully implemented on the cloud and its components are allocated inside AWS Virtual Private Clouds (VPC) protected by stringent security policies. AWS auto.sky uses several AWS tools to deliver the following features: Storage of multiple versions of the application image Configuration and storage of the Windows Application Data Base. High Availability in multiple availability zones (datacenter facilities) Backup storage SECURITY Application isolation in specific combinations of Account, VPCs and subnets. Environment protection Instance firewalls VPN connections from customer premisses to the cloud (upon request) PANEL The Windows Application Environment setup is done through the Panel. This interface allows you to define the parameters used by the instances to accommodate the users on their respective applications. The Panel is also used to register and manage all the users that can access the system. Upon registration, each user receives a notification e- mail with instructions to setup his/her password that is used to authenticate the application access. PORTAL The user connects to the applications through the Portal. This interface is accessible by all the major web browser and request the user credentials. Upon authentication, the user is automatically routed to the instance running the desired application. The Portal is customizable and allows you to define the proper look and feel so the users can perceive a familiar environment when accessing their applications.!2
CONTROL Control is an internal module of auto.sky responsible for the monitoring and management of the instances. It has been designed based on a large experience in scaling Windows applications and is capable of scale out and scale in all the application resources in the environment assuring the best experience for the user and a very efficient utilization of the cloud resources. The Control automation allows auto.sky to deliver the best cost optimised solution for the Windows Application virtualization in the cloud. FUNCTIONS auto.sky is a full Windows application orchestration system in the cloud which includes the following functions and services: Installation and migration support of your Windows application in the cloud. The Sky.One support team will guide you through the whole process to assure your application is properly installed and tuned for the AWS cloud environment including the setup of performance parameters that satisfy your application requirements. Registration and authentication of users authorized to access the applications. The user management function allows you to easily control who can access the environment. Automatic Backups for the Application Database. auto.sky periodically execute backups of your database protecting your data from application or infrastructure failures. The standard retention time is 7 days. On demand growth. To accommodate additional users you just need to increase the maximum allowed users and auto.sky automatically create additional resources. Auto scale. By associating a constant environment monitoring with the cloud elasticity the auto.sky can quickly spin up additional instances to accommodate the peak utilization. When in low utilization the same resources are terminated assuring close to optimal use of the cloud resources. All this process is completely transparent to the user. Full time infrastructure monitoring. The whole application environment is permanently monitored and auto.sky Control is responsible for alerts and automatic adjustments on the infrastructure. High-Availability. auto.sky works on top of the best cloud available today and has been designed to be fully redundant. Even in the event of a catastrophic failure in one of the AWS availability zones, auto.sky will keep it s services alive by using additional availability zones within a region. The Windows application will also benefit from this strategy and new instances will be created in a healthy and available zone. BENEFITS You no longer need to acquire or update the whole hardware and licensing infrastructure required to run your Windows based ERP system. Eliminate the cost of maintenance and support of your hardware infrastructure. Reduce support times on your ERP. Any maintenance can be performed on a single instance and be further propagated to new replicas. Extended reach. From any internet connection you can access your application in the cloud. Even a 3G mobile access offers enough bandwidth for a reasonable use of the system.!3

At the same time, AWS keeps a very aggressive upgrade strategy offering new generations of hardware every year allowing your application to always run in the most advanced servers available. Browsers Number of Users Bandwidth Consumption Encryption HOW TO ORDER The environment sizing is dependent on the specific application requirements. For this reason, new applications usually require a testing phase used to define the amount of resources needed by each user. The cost per user is defined based on the test. Chrome, Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari 10 to 5000 per Application from 15Kbps to 40Kbps/user according to the application 128 bits Reach out one of our consultants and schedule your trial. www.skyone.solutions +1(305) 428-9682!4
