Application Entities

Application entities are groupings of the infrastructure components that comprise and support the application.

Discovering or creating application entities is of critical importance in achieving the most value from the IO platform.

Application entities provide end-to-end visibility into the infrastructure where the application lives: the compute, network, and storage infrastructure.

Application entities also enable IO to provide monitoring, alerting, case management, and troubleshooting based on the application’s business value and SLA tier.

Finally, application entities enable you to understand how your applications behave and impact the infrastructure.
