Struggling to describe what you have deployed in the cloud? Unsure who deployed it and when? And critically, want to understand what happens if it changes?

This is where Acuity from CirrusHQ comes in.

CirrusHQ's Software as a Service (SaaS Cloud Management System allows users worldwide to better manage their cloud environments' performance, reliability, security, cost, operations and sustainability.

What Acuity brings is real-time monitoring and alerting of AWS applications and infrastructure, allowing the right people access to the right information, at the right time. By doing so, customers are able to quickly react to and resolve potential issues before they incur downtime, excess costs or data breaches.

Aggregating data across all your AWS accounts, Acuity customers will be presented with a customised dashboard which provides easy to use access to all the data needed in an easily digestible manner. A key feature of the Acuity platform is also CloudFormation Drift Detection which updates in real-time, allowing customers the ability to quickly identify where intervention or improvement is needed and rapidly resolve those issues.

With cost optimisation being a key advantage of the capabilities of the cloud, Acuity provides customers with oversight of their entire AWS estate, highlighting insights which might otherwise be missed. It also allows those with a limited budget and limited AWS credentials to easily understand from a cost analysis perspective what is happening within their AWS accounts and what can be done better. It fundamentally provides users a real-time, up to date comparison of all their AWS accounts from one central location.

The Acuity platform also incorporates a robust notification centre which notifies users via multiple platforms including Slack and Email of various events including Cloud Formation Drift detection, user access, and any potentially breached cost thresholds.

Bespoke to each client, the platform includes best practices and benchmarks deriving from the extensive familiarity CirrusHQ has with the AWS platform.
