Login

Clients can only access the control panel if they already have a client account. This is created immediately and as soon as a product has been contracted. To access the control panel simply fill in the login form with the email you have registered with Gigas and your password, then press “Enter”. If you do not remember your password, click on “Forgot your password?” Fill out the form with your email address and click on “Recover Password”. You will receive a message in your inbox with a link. Click on it

Panel1.png

Client's panel

Panel3.png

From this panel you can manage your contracted services and contract new services. For a quick client overview, a color code has been designed:

  • White background: No service has been contracted
  • Green background with green top bar: Contains one or more contracted services
  • Yellow background with yellow top bar: Contains a contracted service where an incident has occurred

To access the contracted services contained in each product, simply click on it. This can also be done from the left sidebar.


Cloud Datacenter (/datacenters)

Panel4.png

The number next to “Cloud Datacenter” indicates the number of products of this type that have been contracted. By clicking on:

  • "Cloud Datacenter" you access the list of products of this type.
  • "Add" you access the interface contracted.
  • the "I" in the lower righthand corner you access the page with sales information about the product.

A) If you have a contracted product but have not created a Cloud Server, this screen will appear:

  5. Cloud resources:
    1. Primary disk: Allows you to specify the space assigned to the primary disk system or to our Cloud Server.

Autoscaling

Autoscaling needs to be contracted beforehand and a load balancer needs to have been configured.

Once it has been contracted, configure the autoscaling rules horizontally, i.e. parallel servers are installed to expand the functionality of one or more servers when the indicated rules need to be applied.

NB: The Cloud Datacenter must have free unassigned resources so that the autoscaler can install more parallel servers.
