fluidOps Solutions for EMC® Atmos™
The fluid Operations™ solutions for EMC® Atmos™ leverage eCloudManager™ and Information Workbench™ technologies to deliver a complete cloud storage management platform for EMC Atmos, including:
- cloud storage monitoring and provisioning functionalities,
- an end user self-service portal for requesting cloud storage resources, and
- a metadata management and rich search front-end.
EMC Atmos Monitoring and Provisioning
The eCloudManager™ makes it easy for cloud service providers to provision, manage and monitor their storage cloud offering. The eCloudManager integrates with Atmos Cloud Storage and data center resources directly. The information gathered on a close to real-time basis is semantically correlated and stored in an in-memory database, allowing for out-of-the-box monitoring and management across the complete IT stack. Thus, multiple Atmos cloud storage systems, multiple enterprise storage arrays, multiple compute infrastructures (be it hypervisors or physical blades), and multiple Virtual Landscapes equipped with enterprise applications such as SAP®, Oracle® or Microsoft® can be managed and controlled from the eCloudManager user interface.
Based on the tight integration with EMC Atmos cloud storage using REST API, the eCloudManager also delivers cloud management functionalities.
EMC Atmos Self-Service Portal
Using the eCloudManager, which also delivers a fully customizable self-service portal, cloud service providers as well as cloud resellers can define service catalogs for easy on-demand consumption of storage resources. Using the self-service portal provided by the eCloudManager, authorized end users can:

 |
| This allows complex sales channels to be managed using the fluidOps eCloudManager and EMC Atmos. Managed Service Providers who offer Atmos cloud storage resources and services can allocate space to their service distributors using the eCloudManager, who can in turn allocate cloud storage space to service resellers. Resellers can then assign Atmos space to their customers, i.e. the service end users. |

EMC Atmos Intelligent Metadata Management
| Serving as a front-end for Atmos, the fluidOps Information Workbench allows users to easily upload and archive their digital libraries on Atmos (music files, video files, eBooks). The data is managed by the Information Workbench and enriched through the integration of data from other sources (such as DBpedia, Flickr, Last.fm, BBC Music, Youtube, Jamendo, etc.). |
 |
The Information Workbench provides the following functionalities as Atmos front-end:
- Semantic Data Integration: semantically interlink data in Atmos with that in other systems, to provide a unified view and cross the chasm between enterprise-internal and public data.
- Rich metadata management: benefit from semantic representation of metadata using Semantic Web and Linked Data standards; can be obtained from existing metadata, or automatically enriched.
- Collaborative Metadata Generation and Annotation: use Semantic Wiki to easily annotate resources, establish relationships, or add free-text documentation, and allow for authoring and curation of metadata.
- Semantic Data Access: leverage semantic technologies for improved search, presentation, and collaborative augmentation of data; visually explore content elements in Atmos, analytics & reporting over Atmos content.
- Application Development: rapidly build novel Atmos applications using W3C standards like RDF and SPARQL; use standardized APIs and SDKs to implement your own widgets and mash-ups.
