Addressing MSP Challenges: In any MSP team, there are always challenges to overcome. The Cristie Self-service portal is designed to tackle these head-on, making it just a matter of identifying the specific needs.

 

1. Multi-Tenancy for Complex Operations
For organizations operating across multiple sites, countries, or serving various customers and departments, the Cristie Self-service portal's secure and flexible multi-tenancy feature is the perfect solution.

 

2. Role-Based Access and Security
When an organization has multiple users needing access to object storage and data protection infrastructures for different purposes, the Cristie Self-service portal ensures secure, role-based access and can even enforce segregation of duties where necessary.

 

3. Consumption Measurement and Billing
If there's a need to measure consumption for billing, the Cristie Self-service portal not only reports usage per tenant but also provides a robust subscription and recurring billing engine. This system delivers all monthly billing details in organized CSV and JSON formats, as well as through a REST API.

 

4. Self-Managed Reporting and Billing
Organizations that prefer to handle reporting and billing themselves often realize the vulnerability of relying on a few employees and custom scripts. The Cristie Self-service portal offers a modern, standardized solution that mitigates these risks with specialized software.

 

5. Unified Management for Multiple Backup Vendors
For organizations using a mix of backup vendors, the Cristie Self-service portal serves as a single pane of glass, integrating seamlessly with IBM SP, IBM Defender, Rubrik, Cohesity, and PoINT Archival Gateway.

 

6. Scalability and Efficiency
Provisioning: Users can activate and schedule backups and create new S3 buckets independently and access a number of self-service features which helps in scaling services without increasing the workload for administrators proportionately.

 

7. Resource Optimization
By automating repetitive tasks and enabling self-service, the Cristie Self-service portal allows businesses to use their resources more efficiently.

 

8. Security and Compliance
Audit Logs: The Cristie Self-service portal maintains detailed audit logs of all actions, ensuring transparency and compliance with regulatory requirements.

 

9. Customization and Reseller Branding
Each tenant in the Cristie Self-service portal can be customized with its own name, logo, colors, and SMTP settings so that its users and descendant business units experience a solution in the parent tenant's own name and brand.
