UNUM Insight Analytics
Performance monitoring, reporting and analytics for pervasive visibility at the speed of cloud.
Pluribus UNUM Insight Analytics is a powerful integrated analytics module that ingests telemetry data from the Unified Cloud Fabric, including FlowTracker data on every traffic flow, and provides proactive and historical insight into network and application performance to assure peak operating performance and exceed user experience expectations.
- Quickly pinpoint performance issues
- Accelerate troubleshooting
- Improve operational intelligence
- Identify security risks and speed remediation
- Assure peak operating performance
How it works
FlowTracker
Traditional approaches to network performance monitoring and analytics typically require expensive and difficult to deploy TAP and TAP aggregation hardware. Pluribus changes all this with our FlowTracker fabric service, which leverages the unique architecture of the Unified Cloud Fabric and the Netvisor ONE OS vPort database, present on every switch, to provide full visibility of every flow traversing the fabric without requiring any external hardware. This dramatically reduces the cost and complexity of deploying and managing a visibility fabric.FlowTracker telemetry data from the Unified Cloud Fabric is ingested into UNUM Insight Analytics to support insight into network and application performance and rapid trouble resolution.
KubeTracker™
KubeTracker is a service of the Unified Cloud Fabric that complements FlowTracker to provide additional awareness and insight into cloud-native applications. KubeTracker subscribes to events published by a Kubernetes API server to make the entire fabric aware of how Kubernetes micro-services are distributed across the network and how their deployments dynamically change over time. KubeTracker works with FlowTracker to provide full per-flow visibility into the East-West traffic between containers inside a Kubernetes cluster.
With KubeTracker and FlowTracker data in UNUM Insight Analytics, network operations teams are empowered with the intelligence they need to identify how Kubernetes application performance or availability issues may be related to the network and minimize the mean time to resolution. For more information on KubeTracker and FlowTracker see the Fabric Visibility page.
Network Performance Dashboard
Insight Analytics provides an easy-to-use, drill-down network performance dashboard with a big data approach to network performance analytics. The intuitive interface allows the user to visualize key application flow and packet metrics with extensive filtering, trending and correlation capabilities.
Network performance has always been an expensive and complex process since raw network traffic data is huge and cryptic. UNUM Insight Analytics, combined with the built-in visibility architecture of the Unified Cloud Fabric, solves three important shortcomings found in traditional analytics tools:
- Interactive speed. When considering millions or billions of business flows, users need the ability to navigate quickly and without lag, perform what-if inquiries, and let the data itself determine the analysis process.
- Application-aware, business transactions. This eliminates the need to try and align dozens or hundreds of raw packets with their business value. Both packets and flows of information associated with specific business applications are available.
- Cost. The cost of monitoring systems has always been a limiting factor and as such monitoring has been deployed only in a small percentage of locations where performance information would be useful. Comprehensive and pervasive monitoring should not be a luxury, but a common practice everywhere.
Search
A powerful search engine UI with a simple query syntax designed to isolate and filter specific flows and packets from among millions – in a fraction of a second.
Network Performance Reporting
UNUM Insight Analytics provides a standardized set of most common network performance reporting of high-level packet and flow statistics.
