GridGain Systems announced that an enhanced version of GridGain Control Center
is available as a cloud service on a subscription basis. GridGain Control
Center SaaS is another step by GridGain to move more of its solutions to the
cloud to support accelerated cloud migration by customers. While GridGain
Nebula, released last year, is a fully managed service for Ignite and
GridGain, Control Center SaaS is a cloud-native solution for operations teams
that prefer to manage their production environments. A free 30-day trial of
Control Center SaaS is available on the GridGain
website.
GridGain Control Center is a comprehensive troubleshooting, management
and monitoring solution for the GridGain platform and Apache Ignite, which run
on a distributed cluster of servers. Troubleshooting and managing these
distributed clusters can be demanding, and Control Center simplifies key tasks
to help developers and operations teams be more productive building, managing
and optimizing applications on these platforms. GridGain Control Center as a
cloud service enables customers to manage compute clusters that are deployed
across single or multi-cloud services, on-premises and hybrid environments.
"As the migration of infrastructure to the cloud accelerates, we
are seeing more customers deploy Apache Ignite and the GridGain platform across
their cloud environments, increasingly taking advantage of GridGain Control
Center and the GridGain Nebula managed service," said Greg Stachnick, Director
of Cloud Product Management, GridGain Systems. "As a result, we continue to
invest in new GridGain offerings, such as Control Center SaaS, to better enable
customers to achieve the speed and scale required by their most demanding
applications."
Control Center greatly simplifies Ignite and GridGain
platform-specific troubleshooting and management tasks. These include debugging
SQL performance bottlenecks, tracing performance of operations under load,
simplifying data backup and recovery, and proactively managing data skews to
optimize cluster utilization. In addition, Control Center performs routine
monitoring tasks, such as tracking cluster metrics via customizable dashboards
and setting up alerts.
The new Teams feature enables a group of users to form a team
and share configuration resources, allowing Control Center to be used as a
standalone observability platform. In addition, Control Center can complement
existing observability solutions, such as Zabbix or Prometheus, providing
additional contextual information that helps troubleshooters quickly understand
the root cause and fix the underlying problem.
Feature Summary

Availability
A free 30-day trial of GridGain Control Center SaaS is available on the GridGain website. After
the free trial, the service is available on a subscription basis, billed either
monthly or annually based on the number of cluster nodes to be managed and
monitored.
