Breqwatr Cloud Platform is Arcus OS + OpenStack
Breqwatr takes the complexity out of deploying and managing an OpenStack cloud by rolling the core OpenStack services together into our Cloud OS (“Arcus”) and pre-configuring it all in a turn-key appliance.

Instance Manager
A service that monitors the cloud’s instances to ensure that they are automatically relaunched in the event of a node failure. Instance manager also monitors instance expiration and deletion.
Hardware Manager
A unique set of tools that allow an administrator to take control of the underlying hardware for the purposes of regular maintenance.

Cluster Manager
In a “shared nothing” architecture it is critical that availability services are owned and executed flawlessly. Cluster Manager monitors critical systems and ensures that they are always on.
Cloud Evacuation
This special set of tools allows an administrator to safely migrate virtual assets, and the associated metadata, out of the cloud.

Other Features
SDN & NFV
it is now possible to create scalable networks, add virtual routers and leverage advanced network services like VPNaaS (VPN as a Service) and VxLAN Tunnels (Layer-2 Overlay Network).
Self-Service Provisioning
Users of the system are provided with limits (quotas or budgets configurable on a per project basis). Within these limits, users manage their compute and storage resources, configure instances, and deploy distributed applications without additional administrative oversight.
