Why AccelOps is a Superior Monitoring Solution

Integrated Security, Availability and Performance Monitoring

AccelOps features the industry’s first integrated security, performance, availability and change monitoring solution designed from the ground up to provide single pane of glass visibility, proactive alerting and efficient root cause analysis.

Next Generation SIEM with Compliance Automation

AccelOps provides full SIEM solution with a single console for both real time events and historical log analysis, shipping with over 800 pre-defined reports including a comprehensive set of compliance reports covering PCI, HIPAA, and COBIT.

Business Service Prioritization

AccelOps provides a platform for quickly mapping IT infrastructure elements to business services, then analyzing the performance, availability and security issues of each business service. This enables better incident prioritization, faster problem diagnosis and greater uptime for the services that matter to your business

Advanced Rule Framework Addressing Sophisticated Threats and Violations

AccelOps supports simple thresholds advancing analytics to describe any scenario of interest. The rule language supports multiple sub-patterns (AND, OR, FOLLOWED_BY,..), broad operators (equals, greater than, contains, between,…), nested rules, and rule exceptions.

Flexible Reporting and Custom Dashboards

Any of the supplied reports may be copied or modified, or new reports built from the ground up to meet your requirements. Event and log data can be analyzed through simple keyword searches or complex conditional statements, resulting in detailed reports and graphs which in turn may be further explored by drilling down on specific results.

Smart Incident Management

AccelOps employs advanced alert consolidation, auto-suppression rules, instant filtering, service impact analysis and state management to reduce notification noise and sharpen administrative focus on a select set of active incidents.

Multi-Vendor Device Support

We discover all aspects of your IT infrastructure – networks, servers, storage, users, and applications, then monitor availability, performance, change, and security, enabling you to pinpoint the root cause of an incident in record time.

High Performance Event Processing

We use a patent-pending XML based event-parsing framework, providing device support flexibility without sacrificing event processing performance. Additionally, new devices and applications can be supported without a software upgrade.

Flexible Deployment Models (SaaS or Virtual Appliance)

Leverage your VMware investment with our Virtual Appliance (software on premise) model, or take advantage of our subscription-based SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) model.

Dynamic Adobe Flex Web 2.0 GUI

Our user interface is built from the ground up with the Adobe Flex Web 2.0 RIA framework allowing for a more engaging desktop application experience, while still running within any browser, offering anytime, anywhere accessibility.

Multi-Tenancy with MSP support

AccelOps features the industry’s first integrated security, performance and availability monitoring solution designed from the ground up with multi-tenancy and MSP support. This allows for both customer and service provider views and cross-correlation of events across multiple organizations.

Customizable Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)

Accelops provides an RBAC model that enables the AccelOps application to be effectively used by a diverse set of users with different functional roles in a large enterprise/service provider environment. It also comes with several system defined roles which can be modified easily to tailor to any sophisticated access control scenarios.

New Data Centers – New Monitoring Challenges.

Organizations depend on their data center IT infrastructure to deliver business critical services. Any glitch or downtime will directly impact business operations; and IT personnel are held accountable for managing corresponding network, systems and applications. More importantly, the IT organization is measured by how well they meet business requirements and keep mission-critical systems online with expected reliability. New technologies are implemented to expand capacity, such as web and mobile applications, virtualization (in all areas of storage, network and server), SOA, VOIP, email, wireless, security devices, and now public and private clouds. While the technologies bring tremendous value and effectiveness to the enterprise, at the same time, they introduce new data center monitoring challenges.

Operational Silo Inefficiencies

Adding to data center complexity and impacting IT responsiveness for large to mid-sized enterprises is the growth of operational silos, such as networks, systems, applications, help desk, etc. How to scale the management of the trees without ignoring the forest? IT departmentalization provides focus and helps scale IT controls, but it also contributes to inefficiency in terms of identifying threats, responding to problems, isolating root cause, and getting the network and systems back up and running in a timely and assured fashion.

These organizations use numerous tools across departments to provide different IT management functions. However, this approach makes it difficult to monitor and link various operational data quickly to understand how applications and infrastructure connect to deliver business services, and to quickly pinpoint problems and efficiently assess if the cause relates to performance, availability, security, or a change.

For example, which component is critical to which business services and what is the impact of an update to the performance or reliability of a service delivered to the actual end user or customer. Data Center monitoring requires a more holistic approach that can be of value to different members of the IT organization and the IT organization as a whole to alleviate operation silos inefficiencies and disparate toolsets.

New Way of Monitoring Data Centers

Evaluating and guaranteeing the availability of critical systems, monitoring different geographic and application environments, measuring data center operating norms and service-levels, and improving the bottom line of an enterprise is paramount – especially given the demand on IT to achieve more with less resources. An automated and more integrated data center monitoring solution increases infrastructure and service reliability, enhances IT operational efficiency and facilitates resource optimization.
