Benefits

Backplane's Cloud Abstraction API offers a host of benefits for a number of use cases

  • Building an Internal Developer Platform ?

    So you're building your own custom IDP and need to provision Cloud accounts across various Cloud Platforms. Let Backplane Cloud Abstraction API take care of this and be your single integration point to multiple clouds for the purposes of Account Provisioning and retrieval of Cost, Access and Policy data. With this in place you can focus on the developer experience and less time on integration.

      Reduce Integration Time

      With a single integration point, integration time is drastically reduced

      Add Additional Clouds

      With a single integration point, integration time is drastically reduced

      Reduced Complexity

      With a single data shape for cost, access and policies and the Cloud Account provisioning, you can manage multiple clouds with a single cloud experience

      Platform Operating Model

      Backplane's Platform manager allows easy management of workloads

      Single Source of Truth

      Backplane's Service Catalog provides a single source of truth for your Cloud workloads

  • Governing Multiple Clouds ?

    Achieving cost visibility across organisation, platforms, products, and apps for effective financial management

      Heterogeneity

      Cloud service providers will present their Access, Policy and Cost data in different shapes. Backplane gives a uniform and standardised data shape, creating a heterogeneous dataset for multi-cloud governance that scales

      Full Cost, Access and Policy Visibility

      View Cloud Spend, Access and Policies through the lens of your organisation, platform, products or app. A granular view of Cloud spend across your workloads across your Cloud platforms

      Remove Vendor Lock-in

      Having the flexibility to adopt, enable and govern multiple cloud platforms helps de-risk vendor lock-in.

      Governance-as-a-Service

      Existing tools and systems can easily connect to Backplane to retrieve Cost, Access and Policy data as required.

      Mergers & Acquisitions

      Have you acquired a new cloud platform and need to quickly get governance on it ? Backplane connects to your Cloud platform seamless to provide a single pane of glass view across cloud workloads, access, policies and cost

  • Building a FinOps Platform ?

    Governing multiple clouds can be complex. Backplane's Abstraction API provides a standardised datashape on Cloud Cost, Access and Policy data, enabling your systems to consume Cloud Governance-as-a-service into your tools

      Budget Management

      Cloud service providers will present their Access, Policy and Cost data in different shapes. Backplane gives a unform and standardised data shape, creating a heterogeneous dataset for multi-cloud governance that scales

      Cost Visibility

      View Cloud Spend through the lens of your Organisation, Platform, Products or App. A granular view of Cloud spend across your workloads across your Cloud platforms

  • Datacenter to Cloud Migration ?

    Cloud-native transformations require an asessment of Datacenter workloads to determining a possible migration strategy. With Backplane's API, you have complete flexibility to create a 'Migration Factory' to onboard workloads into Cloud.

      Track Transformation & Migration

      Whether you're conducting a lift-and-shift, or a refactor/rearchitect approach, Backplane's transformation manager can track progress.

      Intelligent Workload Placement

      Assess existing workloads to optimise workload placement for best business value against business requirements.
