WSO2 Stratos delivers on the promise of cloud computing with a complete, enterprise middleware platform for delivering applications that can run on, and integrate with, any combination of private clouds, public clouds and on-premise systems. WSO2 Stratos is equipped with features for auto-scaling and single sign-on, as well as enhanced functionality for automatic activity monitoring, usage metering, and centralized governance and identity management.

An open source product, WSO2 Stratos is available under the Apache Software License (v2.0) . This includes all of the extra integration and management functionality as well.

Key Features

• Auto-scaling capabilities. WSO2 Stratos automatically adjusts the use of cloud resources to meet increased or decreased demand.
• Single sign-on functionality. Users only need to sign on once to access all WSO2 Stratos services that they are authorized to use.
• Enhanced automatic activity monitoring. Activity monitoring is available in real time, so there is no time gap between data collection and the availability of data for monitoring.
• Enhanced usage metering. Metering is automated so that every operation by tenant users will be monitored and recorded. The metering information can be used for billing and for offering constrained access for certain services.
• Enhanced centralized governance and identity management. All the resources of all Stratos services can be monitored and governed from a single point - from WSO2 Stratos governance. When a modification, such as changing a security policy, or changing the keystore, is done from a single place, it is immediately visible to all other services. In addition to that, all services share a single user store. When a user is added from a service, that new user can immediately access all other services available for the tenant.
• Tenant aware logging. Tenants can view their logs in order to monitor the status of the deployed services of and applications. It is also helpful for debugging purposes.
• Data-as-a-Service Data-as-a-service offers storage for tenant's application data. In this release of Stratos, we offer two built-in storage options. WSO2 RSS (Relational Storage Service) & CSS (Cassandra Storage Service). RSS allows creating tenant specific MySQL databases instances and CSS allows creating column family based storage. In addition, one can use other RDBMS engines to store data as well.
