Heterogeneous infrastructure monitoring

Management of data infrastructure across on-premises, hybrid, and multicloud environments has never been more complex. Organizations are grappling with challenges like siloed tools, bottlenecks, capacity planning errors, and increased operational costs. Enter NetApp® Data Infrastructure Insights (formerly Cloud Insights)—a powerful tool that’s purpose-built to simplify infrastructure monitoring, provide unified visibility, and to help you make strategic, data-driven decisions for your IT infrastructure. Plus, it works seamlessly with multiple storage vendors, offering robust heterogenous capabilities to optimize performance across diverse environments, helping you overcome those tool and data silos. 

As an innovative storage infrastructure monitoring and observability solution, Data Infrastructure Insights provides comprehensive details on the critical connections across your storage, network, and compute layers to enable seamless, efficient ITOps. The difference between monitoring and observability is like the difference between a thermometer and a doctor. Monitoring, much like a thermometer, measures and reports data—such as detecting a spike in CPU usage. It’s crucial for knowing when something goes wrong. Observability goes further, acting like a doctor who identifies the root cause of a problem and prescribes solutions. With observability, you’re not just tracking symptoms; you’re able to analyze your systems to understand the deeper issues and to know how to resolve them. Together, these capabilities measure your system health in real time while also delivering the insights that you need to prevent and to address issues effectively. 

Whether you're managing on-premises systems, multiple clouds, or a hybrid setup, Data Infrastructure Insights centralizes visibility across your environment so that you know what's happening within your infrastructure. With Data Infrastructure Insights, you gain actionable insights to monitor performance, to anticipate risks, and to promote efficiency. By using AI and machine learning, the solution eliminates inefficiencies, reduces downtime, and empowers you to deliver optimal performance for your business. 

Infrastructure monitoring and management across diverse environments have a wide range of challenges that typically result in inefficiencies, unexpected downtime, and missed opportunities for improvement. Data Infrastructure Insights removes traditional roadblocks and equips your teams to proactively address risks, optimize performance, and to unlock operational efficiency. 

Unified visibility 

Keeping tabs on infrastructure across various environments (on-premises, cloud, or both) often requires multiple tools, leading to disjointed insights. Data Infrastructure Insights integrates seamlessly with NetApp and a wide range of other storage, compute, and cloud solutions. With support for platforms like Dell EMC, Cisco, VMware, AWS, and Azure, it provides centralized visibility across your entire infrastructure so that you can monitor and manage all your connected components efficiently. 

Eliminate bottlenecks and improve troubleshooting  

Bottlenecks can go undetected for too long, and identifying the root cause of an issue is often like finding a needle in a haystack. Data Infrastructure Insights correlation analysis capabilities enable proactive issue resolution. The solution analyzes relationships between different infrastructure components to help you pinpoint the root cause of problems quickly, cutting down mean time to resolution (MTTR). 

Optimize capacity planning  

Underprovisioning or overprovisioning your resources can lead to increased costs or performance slowdowns. Data Infrastructure Insights uses predictive analytics and capacity planning insights to optimize resource allocation. It helps you accurately forecast storage demands and avoid unnecessary infrastructure costs. 

Strengthen security and compliance  

Managing your security and compliance across multiple geographies and environments is a growing challenge. With advanced anomaly detection, Data Infrastructure Insights identifies security risks like ransomware attacks or insider threats. It also confirms regulatory compliance through activity monitoring, audit-ready reports, and configuration change tracking. 

The days of trying to manage infrastructure with fragmented tools are over. Infrastructure monitoring and observability from Data Infrastructure Insights deliver end-to-end visibility and actionable guidance so that you can optimize performance, boost efficiency, and reduce costs.
