What we take on
The running is our job.
Every client app, maintained to the same standard.
- We manage every instance to the same standard.
- We apply security fixes, renew certificates, and restore backups.
- Add clients without adding infrastructure work.
The standing schedule
What we do for every client instance, and how often.
- Continuously
- Availability, response, and system health checks.
- Every day
- Client backups, retained for 30 days.
- As released
- Security fixes first, then updates across every instance.
- Before expiry
- Certificate renewal for every client domain.
- On request
- Restores, resizes, and client migrations.
Failed checks alert our team. We handle infrastructure issues and contact you when the software needs your input or permission.
A space that feels like yours
Client portal concept · Cedar Studio sees only its own apps.
Two portals
One partner portal. One client portal.
Manage all clients in the partner portal. Each client sees only their own apps.
Partner sign-in
Partner portal: all clients and apps in one list
View your clients, add apps, choose an instance size, and check status from one screen.
Client sign-in
Client portal: one client’s apps, with your branding
A signed-in view limited to one client and branded as your service.
Not visible from a client portal
Clients cannot see other clients, how many clients you manage, what you pay Kosnomos, or Kosnomos branding.
