Platform Architecture

offers both a hardware-based and a software-based architecture. Our hardware-based solution is comprised of a platform appliance that can be integrated with your infrastructure using hardware probes and software-based integrations. Alternately, you can install our software-based platform that uses a software-based appliance and software integrations only.

Hardware Probes for Fibre Channel SAN and IP NAS Infrastructure Monitoring

The hardware Performance Probes connect to your SAN or NAS infrastructure using Traffic Access Points (TAPs). The probes collect live data from the SAN or NAS infrastructure and send it to the Platform Appliance.

The appliance persists and correlates the data collected by the probes and presents it in the browser-based user interface using the Management Software. The hardware appliance must be used with the hardware probes.

Software Integrations for Network, Compute, and Storage Infrastructure Monitoring

The software integrations collect data from your network, compute, and storage infrastructure and send it to the appliance.

The appliance persists and correlates the data collected by the integrations and presents it in the browser-based user interface using the Management Software. You can use the hardware or virtual edition of the appliance with the software integrations.

Software Integrations for Application Discovery and Event Monitoring

The software integrations collect data from your cloud or local CO or CMDB instances and hosts.

The appliance persists and correlates the data collected by the application integrations and presents it in the browser-based user interface using the Management Software. You can use the hardware or virtual edition of the appliance with the software integrations.
