Features & Benefits
- Comprehensive Machine Data collected with each Snapshot
- Snapshot frequency and data granularity is fully configurable
- Snapshots archival for server history
- Snaphots enable offline data diagnostics
- No-touch server access for troubleshooting and change work preparation
- System Administrators can run scripts against snapshot data, avoiding risk commonly introduced by live server scans
- Servers can be checked for common fault conditions
- Agent-less Machine Data collection
- Collected Machine Data can be searched and viewed as though the System Administrator was logged into the physical server.
- Automated comparison of Server Configurations against configurable compliance template
- Granular template definition of server conditions and dependencies
- PASS/FAIL criteria of various requirement weights e.g. hard requirement, soft requirement.
- Automated accumulation of compliance results into estate wide Datacenter Dashboard
- Horizontal comparison across application infrastructure can be completed to ensure consistency
- A server can fail, meet or exceed minimal requirements
- Current Machine Data can be compared against historical snapshots
- Comparison checks allow for a PASS/FAIL status to be defined
- PASS/FAIL status can be rolled up to give a macro level view
- Server configuration can be compared against known defects/root cause triggers to identify impacted server population
- Relationships between servers can be manually defined or automatically discovered.
This allows for:
- Application level failover
- Prod/DR Pairs
- HOT/HOT Pairs
- Clusters
- Servers linked by underlying storage replication
- Disaster recovery readiness checks
- Notes and alerts can be attached to a specific server
- A comprehensive change log of all Machine Data is kept
- A configurable server summary of key information is displayed
- I-Insight can be interfaced directly into organisational incident/change systems
- Enable preemptive Operational Management
- Any unexpected change can be identified
- Improved day to day System Administration utilisation
- Improve management of large events such as:
- Data center power downs
- Disaster recovery tests
