What is Data Infrastructure Insights?

Modern IT environments span multiple vendors across on-premises, multi-cloud, and hybrid setups. This complexity makes it difficult to monitor, troubleshoot, and operate effectively. Without a unified view, operations teams face working across fragmented tools, slower incident resolution, and higher costs. The key to maintaining security, performance, and cost control is the ability to see the big picture and connect the dots between resources and issues across your entire infrastructure.

NetApp^® Data Infrastructure Insights provides IT infrastructure monitoring and observability to help storage teams ensure the performance, availability and security of their heterogeneous infrastructure. Data Infrastructure Insights helps reduce the number of incidents, speed up resolution times, enhance capacity planning, and optimize both infrastructure costs and performance.

Full visibility of your heterogeneous environment means you can keep operating with confidence. Gain a single, unified view that inventories all on-premises and cloud resources, mapping interdependencies, and delivering real-time data visualization of performance and utilization.

Data Infrastructure Insights leverages advanced machine learning to automatically build topologies and correlate metrics to deliver precise monitoring across your hybrid infrastructure. The solution continuously scans for resource contention, greedy or degraded resources, and streamlines operations by reducing alert noise to help you focus on what matters. Collect comprehensive, standardized infrastructure wide metrics to easily compare across all infrastructure components.

• Troubleshoot. Accelerate problem resolution with actionable insights that highlight performance anomalies and provide a clear view of cause and effect.
• Optimize. Maximize performance and reduce costs with guided recommendations for resource utilization, right-sizing, and waste management to do more with less.
• Secure. Detect abnormal user behavior and data access patterns before they impact your business.

Unlock immediate insights into your NetApp ONTAP storage with ONTAP Essentials Get up and running quickly with pre-configured dashboards and workflows that provide detailed views into your NetApp ONTAP health, inventories, workloads, and data protection status.

• Complete inventory: Gain a full overview of your ONTAP managed storage inventory
• Detailed dashboards: Access in-depth dashboards for a clear look at your ONTAP storage infrastructure
• Capacity forecasting: Utilize days-to-full predictions to anticipate storage needs and prevent outages
• Pre- built monitors and alerts: Leverage ready to use monitors and timely alerts to stay ahead of health, performance, and capacity risks
• Data protection insights: Proactive data access monitoring alerts to unusual data access patterns to protect your critical information

Protecting your intellectual property and sensitive data is critical. Data Infrastructure Insights uses machine learning to analyze data access patterns and keep you one step ahead of threats.

• Data misuse alerts: Instantly spot abnormal user-behavior related to key intellectual property and respond quickly with the ability to automatically restrict data access.
• Usage audits: Ensure compliance and assess risk by auditing usage patterns of critical data wherever it resides.
• File forensics: Easily determine what files may have been compromised.

Instead of juggling multiple monitoring tools for every resource in your environment, Data Infrastructure Insights provides a single solution that sees across all your on-premises and cloud-based infrastructure. From the public cloud to the data center, Data Infrastructure Insights delivers end-to-end visibility so you can:

• Gain a centralized view of your entire IT infrastructure
• Anticipate needs to avoid unexpected outages and expenses
• Discover problems before they affect customer satisfaction
• Seamlessly integrate diverse environments to support digital transformation

Hybrid multicloud environments are easy to deploy but can be a challenge to optimize. Data Infrastructure Insights helps you identify inefficiencies and strike the perfect balance between performance and cost so teams can:

• Proactively identify issues like incorrectly tiered applications or over- or underutilized resources
• Optimize resources with detailed cost reporting
• Reduce or defer purchases by maximizing existing assets and using historical trends for smarter capacity planning

Get simple, clear views of your Kubernetes clusters to easily spot and fix issues.

• Map topology: Connect persistent volume claims directly to the storage infrastructure.
• Identify issues: Pinpoint performance problems and resource constraints whether they’re internal to the cluster or on the supporting infrastructure.
• Correlate metrics: Link pod and namespace performance to back-end storage for true end-to-end visibility of containerized applications.

Data Infrastructure Insights gives you unparalleled visibility across your heterogenous environments, allowing your team to optimize workloads, decrease downtime, and keep your data secure.
