SevOne, a leading provider of network and infrastructure management solutions, today launched the SevOne SDN Monitoring Solution for
Cisco ACI at the 2017 Cisco Live! Conference (Booth #1529). The SevOne
SDN Monitoring Solution integrates SevOne's world-class network and
infrastructure monitoring functionality with the next-generation
capabilities of Cisco's Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI),
providing complete visibility into all the entities comprising a Cisco
ACI-based deployment. This powerful combination delivers greater agility
and scalability to large, enterprise and communication service provider
environments, while giving IT and network operations managers more
unified, real-time visibility to both the virtual (overlay) and the
physical (underlay) components of an infrastructure, along with the
relationships between them.
"Given
the compelling potential benefits, it is only a matter of time before
most networks operate on SDN," said Jim Melvin, SevOne's SVP and Chief
Marketing Officer. "Enterprises that are using SevOne are maximizing
these benefits through real-time, seamless insight across the physical
and virtualized environment."
Interactive Dashboards Give Greater Visibility into Cisco ACI Deployments
The
SevOne SDN Monitoring Solution includes seven interactive dashboards
which manage the transition to SDN. They visualize the physical and
virtual relationships with automated mappings of Cisco ACI deployments,
as well as automatically provide service assurance. These dashboards
also enable a greater understanding of how infrastructure performance
impacts the applications and services made available through Cisco ACI
deployments.
- Automated Topography Dashboards -
provide users with greater insight into both the virtual (overlay) and
the physical (underlay) components of their infrastructure, allowing for
a more in-depth understanding of the health and performance of their
SDN-based implementation
- Tenant-Driven Logical Visibility Dashboards - help teams easily visualize their new dynamic network from a tenant and application first perspective
- Tenant KPIs and Health Score Dashboards - display real-time and historical views of health statistics of the overall system and of individual tenant-based operations
- System-Wide Fault Reporting Dashboards - enable teams to quickly visualize fault critically across the entire system or by domain and type
- Application Network Profile and End Point Group Fault Dashboards -
give operations and engineering teams a better understanding of the
health of their overall system, including logical entities such as end
point groups, application network profiles and tenants, in real-time and
historically
- Automated Baselining Dashboards - deliver proactive notifications for abnormal behavior of Cisco ACI system based on historical trends
- Node and End Point Topology Dashboards -
automatically display the physical and logical relationships, enabling
users to quickly visualize their Cisco ACI implementation
The
SevOne SDN Monitoring Solution currently gathers data from Cisco
ACI-based infrastructures, integrating directly with the ACI Control
layer and the underlying physical infrastructure for complete visibility
into all the entities comprising a Cisco ACI-based deployment. Support
for other leading SDN offerings will be made available in future
versions of the solution.
