Full-Stack Observability Platform
Unified End-to-End Observability with xVisor
“AIOps platforms are adopted by different teams, like DevOps, SRE, IT operations, cybersecurity and business leaders. The use cases and raw data required differ based on the team adopting the platform and its maturity.”- Gartner
Current Environment
Enterprises use technology to enable their business growth and maintain a competitive edge to deliver customer satisfaction. Today, most enterprises have a plethora of hardware- and software-based IT solutions that have evolved over time and do not cohesively integrate.
This complex infrastructure makes it difficult for IT Operations teams to maintain the systems and support an environment that is mission-critical for the success of the business.
ITOps teams have invested heavily in tools and products to monitor their systems. These tools collect data from the various endpoints. At best, these monitoring tools can alert the IT teams about the existence of a problem. It is still the responsibility of the IT team to wade through the data from the myriad of tools in the enterprise, which is time consuming, and could result in the non-availability of the systems to the end-users.
Holistic observability allows an enterprise system to learn how various hardware, software, network, and cloud components work together. A good Observability solution can predict an impending system failure, be it at the application or network level, identify performance degradation issues, or possible security breaches.
Holistic Observability Platform
Monitoring is a prerequisite for Observability. A good end-to-end Observability Platform should
- Predict an impending system failure before it causes a large-scale outage.
- Identify the root cause of performance and security degradations.
- Notify and take actions before there is an impact on user experience and productivity.
The complexity of IT infrastructure to support business operations includes hardware (networks, firewalls, routers, servers, etc.) and software (operating system, application servers, databases, applications, authentication and authorization, etc.). This requires a holistic view of all the data from various sources, correlated dynamically.
An ideal Observability Solution should holistically support IT operations teams responsible for Network (NetOps), Cloud (CloudOps), and Security (SecOps) functions.
Benefits of Observability Platform
- Detailed visibility into the health of the IT environment that can not be obtained by a siloed monitoring approach.
- Improved end-user experience due to the emphasis on coordinated visibility of performance and security impacts.
- Flag “poorly-performing” nodes before they impact on a large scale, thereby dramatically improving system availability.
- AI / ML capabilities of the xVisor Observability Platform better equip the Ops teams to eliminate false positives and reduce alert fatigue.
Ennetix xVisor Observability platform: Unified 3600 View
xVisor powered by data collectors – XOME and xTend – can collect data using standard protocols as well as can integrate with variety of third-party data and event sources. The integration APIs allow creation of a unified data view of Infrastructure, user data and applications. xVisor data sources includes Device Logs, SNMP, Syslogs, Packet Capture/Flows, Active Probes, API Logs, Flow Logs, Metrics, and more.
