is a comprehensive IT infrastructure monitoring and AI-driven analytics solution designed to provide unified visibility across hybrid environments, including multi-vendor infrastructures. It consolidates performance and configuration data, and connects insights from storage to workload. With AI-powered analytics, Data Infrastructure Insights enables proactive anomaly detection, streamlined troubleshooting, and precise cost accountability, helping organizations optimize operations, reduce risks, and control storage costs effectively.
Data Infrastructure Insights delivers a single, reliable source of truth for your entire data infrastructure. It breaks down the silos between different monitoring systems, whether they are on-premises or in the cloud. By consolidating performance and configuration data from heterogeneous environments into one unified view, Data Infrastructure Insights simplifies management and makes complex infrastructures actionable.
End-to-end visibility
One of the most powerful features of Data Infrastructure Insights is its ability to map your entire infrastructure from the application down to the storage layer. This unmatched end-to-end topology shows exactly how infrastructure components are connected, including virtual machines, Kubernetes clusters, SAN fabrics, and storage arrays. This complete picture allows you to see both your cloud and on-prem resource consumption in the same views, which is essential for effective hybrid infrastructure operations.
Deep telemetry and analytics
Data Infrastructure Insights is engineered specifically for enterprises with heterogeneous infrastructures. It goes beyond generic monitoring by collecting deep telemetry from NetApp on-premises and cloud storage, as well as other major storage vendors. This allows it to analyze performance metrics such as latency, IOPS, and throughput at a granular level. The platform translates and standardizes this raw data into insights that matter to both operations and finance teams, creating a shared understanding across the business.
Data Infrastructure Insights uses the power of AI-driven analytics to transform your operational model from reactive to proactive. Instead of waiting for problems to occur, you can anticipate and prevent them, ensuring performance, availability, and security across your environment.
Data Infrastructure Insights features an AI-powered analytics engine that automatically correlates events and pinpoints root causes, eliminating time-consuming manual troubleshooting. It continuously analyzes metrics, understands seasonal patterns, and adapts to trends to detect anomalies, such as unusual user activity that could signal an insider threat. With Data Infrastructure Insights, you can query data in natural language and get expert-level answers and guidance. When an issue arises, Data Infrastructure Insights helps you understand cause and effect by correlating the problem with recent changes in the environment. This helps reduce incident tickets by up to 70% and resolve issues 50% faster.
Data Infrastructure Insights provides insights to achieve significant infrastructure optimization and gain control over your spending. It helps eliminate waste, balance workloads, budget smarter, and align IT expenses with business value.
Simplify SAN management
For organizations running block storage, Data Infrastructure Insights democratizes SAN management. The SAN Analyzer feature provides complete VM-to-LUN visibility across heterogeneous storage and compute, supporting both Fibre Channel and iSCSI. This simplifies troubleshooting and empowers the entire IT operations team, reducing reliance on a few specialists with deep SAN expertise. You can proactively identify vulnerabilities and resolve issues faster, de-risking infrastructure changes and modernizations.
Smarter budgeting and forecasting
Data Infrastructure Insights helps you maximize existing infrastructure. It provides guided recommendations for rightsizing resources, identifying idle or oversized volumes, and balancing workloads. By analyzing historical usage trends, the platform enables you to accurately forecast future capacity needs. This data-driven approach allows you to defer investments in new hardware, prevent over-buying, and negotiate more cost-effective contracts.
Storage cost accountability
A major challenge for many organizations is accurately tracking and allocating storage costs. Data Infrastructure Insights makes chargeback and showback processes seamless, trustworthy, and defensible. It collects and attributes storage usage data at a granular level, mapping consumption directly to specific departments or business units. This provides finance teams with real-time, actionable data for true storage costs, fostering transparency and encouraging smarter spending across the organization. By automating this process, IT teams can save countless hours previously spent on manual reporting.
By implementing Data Infrastructure Insights, organizations can unlock a wide range of benefits that drive operational efficiency and financial discipline.
NetApp Data Infrastructure Insights is more than just a monitoring tool; it is a comprehensive analytics solution that empowers businesses to manage their storage infrastructure with clarity and confidence. Data Infrastructure Insights helps you turn complex data into strategic decisions by providing unified visibility and AI-powered analytics across hybrid environments, simplifying SAN management, and enabling robust storage optimization and cost control. It gives enterprises the intelligence to reduce risks, cut costs, and ensure IT operations run smoothly and efficiently.
