Loftware Cloud Automation
Instead of running Loftware Automation on local computers, you can use virtual machines in Loftware Cloud. Each scale set consists of at least two virtual machines with all settings shared between them.
Key advantages of Loftware Cloud Automation:
- Safeguarding customer data and privacy.
- Preserving information and service integrity.
- Complying with or exceeding industry standards.
- Robust and highly available production system.
- Minimal or no downtime.
- No single points of failure.
- Automated failure detection and response.
Contact Loftware sales team to access virtual machines. Each virtual machine user must have access to a separate scale set.
To assign users to virtual machines:
- In Control Center go to Integrations > Computers Running Automation. A page with all connected local computers and virtual machines opens.
-
Click the virtual machine to open the Computer information menu. (In the Environment column, search for Cloud.)
-
Click the + Assign button to assign a user.
-
Search for the user you want to assign to the virtual machine, then click Assign.
Note
