Cloud18
The SaaS of Replication Manager, and a DBaaS marketplace
Two sides, one software: Cloud18 surrounds every Replication Manager with services, and Replication Manager lets you consume a cloud architecture as a service, focused on databases.
The SaaS of Replication Manager
A platform’s services, wherever your Replication Manager runs
Whether you run it yourself or at a partner, Cloud18 brings it:
- Support by chat, right in the application, and our experts’ services
- Identity: a single sign-in for your instances and your teams
- A cloud storage zone for your backups and archives
- Your configurations backed up in the cloud
- A knowledge base on configurations, security and bugs, and the documentation
The DBaaS marketplace
Cloud architecture consumed as a service
Replication Manager runs our partners’ infrastructure: you consume a complete architecture, focused on databases, by the unit.
- A welcome credit of 1000 € on the infrastructure for every new account
- Managed, highly available MySQL, MariaDB and PostgreSQL
- Proxies, backups and applications next to the data
- The same units at every partner, each at its own price
- European partners: ZeroCloud’s client choice
