Decaf EC2 Client

Take your infrastracture wherever you go!

Decaf's Dashboard

Working in IT (you know, those nerdy server guys?!) is often a nighttime job. You have to be always alert, and always ready to replace that one critical piece of broken hardware. It is not strange many of those nerdy System Integrators are walking around with caffeine molecules on their t-shirt.

Would it be possible to just get rid of the hardware? If there is no hardware you can't go there to replace that broken part. Someone else can do that for you. That is exactly what 'they' promise with the 'Cloud'! One of the first to understand this idea is Amazon, they implemented Amazon EC2, or Elastic Compute Cloud. But hardware of someone else can fail as well, it only means there are infinitely more unused servers waiting for you.

 

You need Decaf!

It might be hardware, it might be software. But something is about to fail. We need to know what is going on. We need to keep an eye on those servers 24/7. We can't let them out of our sight. And if something fails we need to be able to act immediately, and have that app 'up and running' again. We just have to have the tools to do that anytime, anywhere.

Decaf! No need for allnighters anymore. Time to change your t-shirts, no need for caffeine anymore. You can have 1 or 2 servers, or hundreds, with Decaf you always know the health of your cloud. And if necessary you have all the tools to make repairs.

Keep an eye on your cloud.

Decaf's WidgetOn your home you will find your widget, you will use it to get directly notified when things out of the ordinary happen. For this, the widget is updated automatically because you only want to be notified of differences that occurred recently.

The charts give you information about trends and variations in average CPU performance, total disk reads and writes and total incoming/outgoing network traffic over, for example, the past 24 hours. The widget gives you the opportunity to continuously monitor the health of your infrastructure.

There are two other ways to monitor your cloud. You can watch individual instances, both the Amazon EC2 status and ports. Decaf will tell you when your instance is down. You can also receive SMS alerts that immediately take you to the troubled instance.
