emma is a cloud management platform that focuses on simplicity and reduces cloud spendings. It enables enterprises and developers to deploy and manage virtual machines, applications, spot compute instances, and other IT resources in both public clouds and private data centers.
emma works as a intermediary between cloud providers and end-users. Engineers use emma to deploy and manage the infrastructure in a simple cloud-agnostic way, while emma takes over interactions with different clouds and automatically establishes network connectivity across providers and data centers.
Despite not using its own data centers, emma effectively acts as an IaaS provider with extra services, such as autoscaling Kubernetes nodes, cross-cloud backup, cloud-agnostic marketplace, and more.
Unfortunately, that is not what emma is for. The platform provides a comprehensive solution for managing multi-cloud network connectivity and effectively using the resources of multiple cloud providers in a single infrastructure. It is great for optimizing cloud spending, but the architecture solution is too complex to use with existing cloud accounts. While emma provides limited support for external cloud accounts, the main features are applied only to infrastructure deployed with emma.
By providing a single window to search, deploy, combine and manage cloud resources of different providers in the infrastructure, emma benefits its customers in a long list of aspects. The main of them are reducing cloud spending, speeding up time to market, simplifying cloud deployment and management, increasing scalability and security of infrastructure, and providing visibility.
emma provides a comprehensive solution to reduce cloud infrastructure spending. The result is achieved by a combination of multi-cloud strategy, usage of spot instances for temporary workloads, emma's optimization insights, autoscaling Kubernetes clusters, infrastructure analytics, and emma management tools in general. Each of such features impacts cloud spending in a different way, and all together they complement each other to offer a robust cloud cost optimization.
Cloud pricing and performance vary widely across regions and cloud providers. emma provides its users the freedom of comparing different data centers and securing the best available rates based on their specific IT needs, while network connectivity is automatically built by the platform.
emma uses monitoring metrics collected from deployed compute instances to build a statistical model of virtual resource utilization for each compute instance. Such a model helps the emma advisor to build a prediction of the future usage of virtual resources, and detect both over- and underutilization in advance. Given that emma controls deployment and managing the virtual resources, it provides exact advice on resizing compute instances according to their estimated future workload. Overall, emma advisor solves the problems of under-provisioning and over-provisioning, including idle instances detection, which makes the emma recommendations system an effective tool to optimize cloud infrastructure cost.
The cluster in emma has an automatic load redistribution mechanism, which ensures that computing processes are allocated among nodes based on changes in load. When necessary, new nodes can be created without requiring any intervention from an administrator. However, to avoid unexpected growth and stay within budget, emma allows you to set specific parameters, such as the maximum number of nodes, their composition, and cost.
By defining these parameters, you can ensure that the cluster scales within predetermined limits and adheres to your budget. The autoscaling mechanism in emma also enables you to leverage spot VMs to create cluster nodes, allowing you to purchase computing resources at the most favorable price. This feature helps you optimize your infrastructure costs while maintaining high performance and reliability. Nodes remain unaffected in case of failure while spot instances reduce cluster cost by up to 75%.

emma provides a convenient and efficient way to scale infrastructure, offering the flexibility to select the most appropriate provider, location, and cost based on the needs of your product or application. Additionally, emma provides multi-cloud network connectivity, which further enhances its versatility. As a fully GDPR compliant platform, emma ensures the protection of your data privacy. Regular penetration testing and network audits ensure that the platform's security is up-to-date and effective. emma is fortified with the most advanced security tools available, making it a self-healing, modular, and decentralized platform that can defend against various cyber threats and disruptions.
The emma platform provides a valuable feature that allows companies to create separate projects with unique settings for resources, rights, and restrictions for each team based on their specific requirements. This approach ensures that teams can work within their own dedicated environment, with access to the resources they need to complete their tasks, without risking harm to other departments' infrastructure. Each project in emma can be customized according to budget and production capacity, which can be defined based on four primary parameters: the number of virtual processors, the amount of virtual memory, the amount of memory for data storage, and the budget limit. This customization option enables businesses to optimize their resource usage for each project, effectively manage their budget, and make informed decisions based on the unique needs of their company.
The emma platform offers two distinct levels of access control: the Company level (permission level) and the Project level. The Company level provides full permission to manage resources across the entire organization, allowing users to create and manage projects, add and remove users, and handle company billing.
The Project level sets specific parameters for individual users, regulating their access to certain functions and resources on the platform. This level allows companies to customize access rights for each user according to their role and responsibilities. For instance, a user may have different levels of access to manage resources within various projects.
By providing this two-tiered access control, the emma platform ensures that businesses have flexible and comprehensive control over their resources and data security. This enables companies to manage their resources efficiently and protect their valuable data from unauthorized access, ensuring that sensitive information remains secure and confidential.
