Our Cradle “cloud” services (SaaS – Software as a Service) provide access to 3SL’s Requirements Management and Systems Engineering tool – Cradle using remote servers. This means there is no need to install the software on your company systems.
They are also a cost effective way to get up and running with Cradle.
3SL offers a choice of Cradle-Enterprise systems delivered as Cradle cloud services from a choice of servers, in a range of fixed term subscriptions, each accessed by your choice of concurrent users.
The Cradle service provides Cradle directly to the users from a remote environment managed by 3SL:
- In a matter of days from order
- With no software installations
- Needing no, or little, work from your IT
What is the Cradle Service?
The Cradle service:
- Is a self-contained set of Cradle and third party software tools
- Is integrated with your filesystems and printers
- Is secure and resilient
- Needs no administration by your organisation
- If you wish, is linked to your corporate email
- If you wish, is run on servers exclusive to you
The Cradle service delivers the latest version of Cradle, and related applications directly to user’s desktops. Cradle and the other tools appear in windows like any other application that a user runs locally. But Cradle, and your databases, all run on remote servers inside the Cradle service.
You can have any number of databases. They, and the data inside them, are private to you. 3SL will manage the service so you can be assured that it is always available.
You can choose a lower cost shared service or a dedicated service. In the shared service, you share servers at 3SL in the UK with other subscribers, keeping privacy of your data and databases. In a dedicated service, 3SL creates a virtual private cloud (VPC) of servers using a third party hosting provider that are exclusive to you and located in any geographic area that you choose.
All databases are backed up automatically with a 3 hour RTO (Recovery Time Objective) and an 8 hour RPO ( Recovery Point Objective). Backups are held for 8 months.
