With the emma cloud management platform, organizations of all sizes should be able to exploit the true potential of their cloud strategies, drive innovation and thus secure a competitive advantage. Multi-cloud environments in particular often result in a proliferation of tools. Especially when companies use multiple software and cloud service tools to manage their multi-cloud deployments. Who is supposed to keep an overview and maintain control - including of the costs?

Cloud and cost management platforms help to manage the complexity and costs of virtual environments. However, there is a growing suspicion that they only make things more complex and make it more difficult to manage multi-cloud environments effectively, rather than providing greater clarity.

Luxembourg-based network specialist Emma Technologies has recognized the inherent problems of platform management and, with its "emma" solution, has launched a multi-cloud management system on the market that is designed to enable even non-IT experts in companies to make strategic use of the cloud.

emma stands for a platform that enables provisioning and management in various cloud environments, both locally in the company's own data center and at the edge, privately or publicly. The special feature: "We offer the only platform that can go from A to B", explains Dmitry Panenkov, CEO and founder of emma , "by including backups and in the analyses alongside compute resources, spot instances, application and network environments".

The cloud-agnostic approach is designed to enable the seamless management of resources across a wide range of cloud service providers. There is no need to commit to plans or contracts with each individual provider. No matter how many clouds a company uses, "emma" works under just one - its own - Service Level Agreement (SLA). This means that "emma" can also be used by users who have not previously used Hyperscaler due to the expected complexity.

The platform visualizes all cloud services used as well as their actual and expected costs via a central, standardized and intuitive interface. The no-code network integration facilitates usability.

The cloud management console is the central control point that provides an overview of all cloud resources, which can also include several cloud providers. This eliminates the need to switch back and forth between different dashboards and interfaces from different cloud providers, which is common when managing multi-cloud configurations. This centralized view enables administrators to seamlessly monitor, provision, distribute and scale resources across different clouds from a single location.

But emma also brings benefits for the users themselves. CloudOps, FinOps, DevOps, NetworkOps - everything can be used immediately without having to contact IT.

The unified view of the cloud infrastructure and applications makes it easy to identify opportunities to reduce costs and take corrective action in real time using the analysis functions, as well as making predictions. For example, price differences in different cloud regions of a provider can be identified in real time.

In addition, emma offers potential improvements in application performance and the ability to reduce latency using network monitoring tools ("real-time monitoring"), traffic analysis solutions and other optimization algorithms.

Companies can also enforce security policies across all cloud environments with features such as network segmentation, access control and encryption to protect sensitive data and meet regulatory requirements.
