image_machine learning

Machine learning

Your infrastructure and applications are too complex to expect administrators to understand all the ways one component could impact another.

That’s why Cloud Insights will automatically build topologies to correlate metrics. This detects where there are greedy or degraded resources, and resource contention.

IQ integration​

Active IQ integration

Active IQ’s predictive analytics directly visible from Cloud Insights. Directly identify Active IQ risks and take advantage of prescriptive guidance.

intelligent-Insights-1

Intelligent insights

Configuring tools to discover and determine the impact of an issue across your infrastructure can be a complex task. Determining the resolution adds to the complexity.

That’s why Cloud Insights uses AI/ML to enable, integrated intelligent insights that use available correlated metrics determine that an issue has occurred. Then the user is notified, and proactive recommendations are provided to resolve the issue. All without requiring additional configuration.

We were up and running in less than 15 minutes, It’s useful straight away.

Editions pricing

There are two types of ways Cloud Insights can collect data in your environment, depending whether the source of the data is infrastructure or a service.
Infrastructure assets include hardware resources in your own data center and cloud providers. To collect from these assets an acquisition unit is required. This is a lightweight VM that you control, and is used to securely transmit data to Cloud Insights.
Service assets are applications and servers in the environment. Metrics can be directly collected from these assets without an acquisition unit.

* Available for environments of 500 managed units and larger
+API access varies by edition

Pricing is based on the number of Managed Units (MUs) you wish to monitor.
An MU is defined as: Compute: 1 Managed Unit = 2 hosts (virtual or physical)
Storage: 1 Managed Unit = 4 TiB of unformatted external capacity in a physical or virtual storage OR
= 40 TiB of NetApp StorageGRID, Dell EMC ECS, Hitachi Content Platform and IBM Cleversafe unformatted capacity
(doesn’t account for the compute local storage)
Some examples:

  • if you have 100 hosts and 100 TiB of storage, you would purchase (100/2) + (100/4) = 75 MUs.
  • If you have 200TiB of NetApp StorageGRID and 200TiB of other storage, you would purchase (200/40) + (200/4) = 55 MUs.
