cost-effective S3-to-tape storage. Te platform enables role-based self-service, custom reporting, and real-time alerting, allowing organisations to tailor their data protection strategies more precisely. Cloutility connects with existing backup and S3 servers through
a plug-and-play setup that eliminates complexity. Once integrated, businesses can automate the assignment of backups and S3 buckets, ensuring a scalable, organised approach to data management. Cloutility streamlines enterprise-class data protection while delivering a self-service experience for IT managers. Billing automation is a cornerstone of Cloutility’s functionality.
Service providers can automate recurring, capacity-based, and fixed-price billing, ensuring accurate charge distribution across tenants, resellers, and internal business units. ERP system integration streamlines financial workflows, reducing administrative overhead. “Service providers can bill direct customers and internal IT, ensuring structured transactions,” Bak explains. Advanced features include configurable billing intervals and invoice simulations, providing predictive financial insights. APIs facilitate real-time ERP integration, streamlining invoicing. A key advantage is its ability to offer centralised visibility while
preserving customer autonomy. “Customers don’t want to give away their backup capacity or storage control,” Bak explains. “Tey need an engine that enables them to monitor usage and invoice accordingly.” Te billing engine is vital, offering structured, consumption-based pricing. Security and multi-tenancy remain fundamental to Cloutility’s
architecture. Role-based access controls, customisable privileges, and hierarchical management structures mirror real-world business operations, ensuring scalable administration tailored to enterprise needs. As the platform evolves, ongoing integrations enhance functionality, solve object storage challenges, and optimise resource management. Cloutility’s global impact extends beyond individual
integrations. As a centralised platform for data protection and storage management, it enables enterprises and service providers to maintain operational efficiency while supporting multiple technologies. By consolidating automation, security, and infrastructure management into a single adaptable solution, Cloutility continues to expand its capabilities. Several real-world use cases highlight Cloutility’s impact on
streamlining backup services and invoicing for MSPs. Clients such as Cristie and Safespring have leveraged their automation capabilities to optimise operations, enhance data security, and improve efficiency. Tese examples reinforce Cloutility’s role in delivering scalable, adaptable solutions that meet evolving business demands. One university successfully transformed its central IT services
into a revenue-generating operation using Cloutility’s flexible framework. Faculty members required self-service tools, while central IT needed oversight. Cloutility provided the necessary balance, enabling project-based invoicing so research teams could pay only for the storage and protection they required. This shift illustrates how Cloutility turns infrastructure into a strategic asset, helping organisations derive greater value from their IT investments.
www.pcr-online.biz Bak suggests that partners in different regions could onboard
service providers to scale IT solutions effectively, aligning with Cloutility’s broader mission to position IT infrastructure as a business opportunity. As a multi-tenant, API-driven solution, Cloutility empowers organisations to scale, brand, and automate efficiently, turning IT from an operational burden into a strategic asset. Rather than focusing on workforce expansion, Cloutility relies on
strategic partnerships. “We work with partners closely connected to end customers,” Bak notes. “It’s not about hiring more staff, it’s about efficient go-to-market execution.” Tis model allows regional storage providers to handle support and installations, freeing Cloutility to focus on technical development. Auwau’s partnership with IBM has significantly expanded
Cloutility’s global presence. Te platform is available to high- security clients through IBM’s Passport Advantage program, including US defence agencies and the Dutch tax offices. Its multi- technology integration ensures customers maintain flexibility, avoiding vendor lock-in while preserving negotiation leverage. Adoption has steadily increased across Denmark, Sweden,
the UK, and Germany, with organisations such as Blue Side (Denmark’s banking IT provider) and Dutch tax offices embracing Cloutility’s self-service functionality. Looking ahead, Cloutility plans to expand integrations with additional data protection and storage technologies to maintain market adaptability and innovation. Ultimately, Cloutility remains a highly flexible, partner-driven
solution that empowers customers, enhances billing efficiency, and ensures control, all within a single pane of glass. By providing a comprehensive platform that integrates automation, multi- tenancy, advanced security features, and structured financial management, Cloutility continues to transform backup and data management strategies for MSPs and enterprises alike.
