InfoVista

InfoVista helps organizations maximize the business value of their IT services. We extract, organize, and present information that enables decision makers at every level to continuously align IT services with business priorities. Our fully personalized and interactive portal provides visibility into real-time and historical information essential to optimize the service experience for end-users. Eighty percent of the world's largest service providers as ranked by Fortune®, as well as leading Global 2000 enterprises, have selected InfoVista to maximize the value of their Information Technology infrastructure.

InfoVista software is based on a multi-tier architecture that is uniquely capable of supporting the most challenging performance management requirements. The architecture includes three layers. The Collection and Analysis layer provides a fully distributed, highly scalable approach to managing global infrastructures. The Data Consolidation layer provides an extremely efficient and easily managable environment to centralize performance data from across an organization's global infrastructure. The Information Presentation layer is designed for an increasingly varied user-base that demands real-time visibility into infrastructure performance. InfoVista offers a powerful Automation and Management module to manage the software environment, as well as an Infrastructure Integration module that leverages an "adapter" technology to create pre-built integrations with related applications. The architecture supports a range of powerful Solutions.

InfoVista's architecture is optimized for the continuously increasing challenges of managing infrastructure performance in a dynamic, service-centric business environment. The architecture provides significant business and technical benefits.

• Scalability - A single server can collect tens of millions of data points per hour, and using multiple servers InfoVista can poll data from a virtually unlimited number of devices at very granular intervals.
• Adaptability - Supports the native ability to collect data from any source in a multi-vendor, multi-technology environment and the ability to define customer reports or modify out-of-the-box reports using over 50 mathematical operators in a drag and drop GUI.
• Distributed, Open Architecture - Leverages a logically distributed architecture at multiple levels (polling, intelligence, data storage, and reporting) with a completely open API.
• Object-Oriented Architecture - Models the behavior of the monitored environment (e.g., IP VPN) dynamically, as well as creates and maintains complex relationships among the monitored elements.
• Drag ∓ Drop Paradigm - Abstracts the application architecture from the user, enabling him or her to create sophisticated reports without any programming or database skills.
• Powerful, Real-time Analysis - Computes complex algorithms and distributes the resulting notifications in real-time, compares real-time data to historical performance, and performs drill-downs from aggregated information into real-time atomic level data.
