Project review:
CloudCover 365
A Microsoft Office 365 backup solution powered by Veeam, virtualDCS and Zadara.
The challenge:
Veeam’s world-leading Disaster Recovery software for Microsoft 365 is already protecting millions of organisations worldwide, but it doesn’t lend itself to a ‘hands-off’, multi-tenanted approach.
We were challenged by the Cloud Computing pioneers at virtualDCS, to develop an additional layer of functionality to Veeam’s existing software and to develop the ability for IT resellers to manage their own customers through a single-pane-of-glass interface. Together, we created the CloudCover 365 portal.
To make the project a success, the portal had to pull together technologies from three different parties: Veeam, virtualDCS and Zadara Object Storage.
The technologies:
C# .net & .net Core
Xero API
MS Graph API
S3 Object Storage
Go-Cardless API
MS PowerShell
CSS & Bootstrap
React Front End
MS SQL Server
Veeam API
Together, we created the CloudCover 365 portal offering:
- Reseller white labelling functions (logos, domains and more).
- Automated signup and Microsoft 365 Configuration
- Automated Microsoft 365 Configuration updates
- Trial process tool for customers with automated Email reminders.
- Automated customer billing and management via Xero.
- Backup Management within the portal at the click of a button.
- The ability to enable end-user backup and recovery with self Service Restores.
- Automated email Reporting
- Direct Debit signup facilities and integration with popular accountancy APIs.
