Multi-operator system management

AppRegion offers multi-operator control for system operation management and seamless control of multiple Windows Azure subscriptions. AppRegion offers many convenient features such as system auditing and prevention of incorrect operation by access control and operation log.
Operations Automation by Schedular

AppRegion has an operations automation function by scheduler. It makes backups (database and Blob Storage) automatic. Moreover, it has an autoscaling function - number of instances is changeable by schedule. E-mail notice of auto execution reduces the burden of operation.
