Server Monitoring as a Service -
   Hosted Server Monitoring in the Cloud
Cloud Customer Needs	

•  Cloud user base is expanding
   •  Cloud-dependent organizations with business-critical web sites &
      web applications
   •  Includes SaaS, eCommerce, web hosting, game hosting, social media
   •  Hosted in Amazon EC2, Rackspace, public, hybrid, private clouds


•  Two emerging classes of users
   •  1st generation cloud users: DevOps, early adopters, hands-on, DIY
   •  2nd generation cloud users: Sys Admins, ops, demand for less
      complexity and more intelligence


•  Feedback on current cloud monitoring tools
   •  Complex: High-maintenance, hard to use & scale & administer,
      expensive
   •  Wrong: false alarms, narrow-focus, fragmented, siloed
   •  Slow: low-resolution, 1-minute to 15-minute measurements

Cloud Server Monitoring Challenges	

•  Customer Problem
  •  Today’s cloud monitoring solutions are complex, brittle, fragmented,
     and slow
  •  Early cloud administrators have been forced to rely on first-generation
     cloud management tools – legacy, open-source, or one-dimensional
     products (e.g., Nagios, Cloudkick, Pingdom)
  •  New cloud customers are looking for something simple, integrated,
     smart, and cost-effective

•  CopperEgg Solution: Next Gen Cloud Monitoring
  •  Simple to try, install, use, and grow via SaaS, utility-based, pay-as-you-
     go model
  •  Smart performance analytics, unified across system, website, and
     application tiers
  •  Fast, high-resolution visibility via a scalable, big data, NoSQL platform
