Model.

ANALYZE and DOCUMENT operational processes with a common approach.

Look at all the processes that are used in your operations, such as:

• Provision an application.
• Fix a problem determination.
• Start a backup system.
• Add or remove resources as required (autoscale).
• Notify someone when something goes wrong.
• Anything scribbled down.

Tap In System's approach is to create models that mathematically describe processes as a graph which moves through various states. This provides visibility of the interaction between system components and of events that trigger state changes.

Build.

INSTANTIATE your automation processes so they can be easily verified, shared and maintained.

Once models are complete, the TAP service codifies them into Plans to make them executable.

• EASILY encode process models with a graphical user interface.
• Pre-defined TAP modules can be used for monitoring, control and notification functions. Programing is not required.
• Use pre-defined TAP modules to integrate multiple cloud vendors services (such as Amazon Web Services, Rackspace, Open Stack and others) into YOUR process.
• Easily create custom modules to extend integration.
• Easily and seamlessly update and test procedures graphically as processes change.

Operate.

EXECUTE your production processes consistently and predictably.

TAP's operations interface that lets you:

• Allow verified processes to be executed by your operations personnel (run book automation).
• Log all process actions so they are auditable.
• Schedule execution of monitoring or resource allocation processes.
• View historical performance metric graphs of data derived from your process models.

Share.

COMPARE and EVALUATE your methods with others to develop best practices.

• Selectively share your processes and implementation methodology with other users and organizations.
• View other user models.
• Speed up automation by starting with other user models then customizing them to your requirements.
