TotalCloud

TotalCloud provides a component-based, no-code platform for cloud management, targeting cloud and DevOps engineers. Founded in 2015 by Pradeep Kumar and Rajanish Sangameshwar Dodamani, the company originated in Bengaluru, India. Pradeep Kumar, the CEO, previously co-founded and architected redBus.in, a successful SaaS application in India, bringing extensive experience in building scalable platforms to TotalCloud. The company's vision is to evolve how the cloud is managed by componentizing its ecosystem, allowing users to combine building blocks to automate any task without extensive coding.

The firm's core offering is a workflow-based platform designed to automate and simplify complex cloud operations across security, cost optimization, backups, and compliance. It enables users to build their own "cloud recipes"—interactive, automated workflows—to manage tasks across multiple cloud environments like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud from a single dashboard. Key features include resource scheduling to reduce costs, event-based auto-remediation for security vulnerabilities, utilization reporting to identify inefficiencies, and custom solution building from over 200 templates. This approach empowers engineers to deploy entire applications, manage Kubernetes clusters, or automate data archiving with visual, drag-and-drop processes.

TotalCloud operates in the CloudTech and DevOps software sector, serving businesses that require agile and efficient management of their cloud infrastructure. The platform integrates with existing DevOps tools and ITSM systems like Jira, ServiceNow, and Slack, triggering actions from external events and sending notifications to various platforms. After participating in an accelerator program in late 2017, the company secured multiple seed funding rounds, raising a total of $779K from investors including Speciale Invest and Axilor Ventures. In August 2021, TotalCloud was acquired by Qualys, a provider of cloud-based security and compliance solutions, to integrate its visual workflow and no-code automation technology into the Qualys Cloud Platform. This acquisition has since evolved into TotalCloud 2.0, an AI-powered Cloud Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP) that extends protection to SaaS applications.
