Alive Features and Benefits

Integrien Alive™ Release 7.1 provides best-in-class real-time analytics to performance data and powerful visualization to dramatically increase operational efficiency and automate data center intelligence. Because of that, most of Alive's capabilities are available nowhere else in the industry, and the benefits of automated intelligence for IT operations are profound. Here's a brief look at some of the key features and benefits of Alive™ 7.1


FEATURE

  

BENEFIT


Health Score
Automatically calculates the real-time health score for each service and application.
  
  • Complete visibility and confidence in the performance and risk associated.
  • Access to health trend based on score and status.

Smart Alert
Alert based on patented algorithms which indicates imminent problem.
  
  • Identify service performance problems preemptively, hours before they can be identified by traditional, static threshold-based monitoring solutions.
  • "One Click" to the root cause greatly reducing the MTTR.

Dynamic Thresholding
Determines normal behavior of each metric accounting for seasonal events. Multiple, sophisticated algorithms accurately model different metric behaviors and provide accurate, real-time analysis of your IT performance data.
  
  • Eliminates false positive alerts cause by normal system behaviors.
  • Significantly reduces manual alert processing load caused by static thresholds.
  • Eliminates static threshold management.
  • Illuminates potential problems that static thresholds mask.

Alert to Alert Correlation
Determines the anomaly relationships between all alerts. Automatically predicts future problem anomalies based on currently active alerts.
  
  • Provides IT staff with the ability to head off costly performance and availability problems before they affect end users.
  • Reduces total number of alerts.

Metric to Metric Correlation
Determines the behavioral relationships between all metrics. Identifies the complex interdependencies between business services that cannot be identified by traditional systems management tools.
  
  • Enhanced visibility into how problems in one device, tier or business service affect others.
  • Facilitates preemptive problem solving across business services.

Super Metric
Users can combine metrics across any silo or group of resources using powerful mathematical functions and is analyzed by the analytics engine just like individual metrics.
  
  • Allows early warning to problems that cannot be identified effectively with single metric analysis (e.g., The Citrix "Black Hole" problem).

Monitoring Integrations and Adapter Framework
Out of the box integrations to discover resources, relationships and collect metric data from various technologies including IBM Tivoli Monitoring (ITM), HP OpenView Operations (OVO), VMware Virtual Center, EMC|Smarts, Keynote, Gomez, etc. Sophisticated adapter framework to quickly integrate other third party data sources.
  
  • Leverages existing monitoring and systems management investments.
  • Speeds time to value.
  • Allows holistic cross-silo data analysis.

Universally Applicable Analysis
Learning-based analysis is not dependent on Rules or Templates.
  
  • Data Agnostic - Any time series data regardless of its origin or meaning can be understood - could include Host O/S, Network, Application, User Experience, Business Data, etc.
  • Application Agnostic - Any application or environment can be understood - classic n-tier, batch, SOA, custom, etc.

Scalable, Enterprise Ready Architecture
Supports real time analysis and visualization of millions of metrics from tens of thousands of devices.
  
  • Scales to the needs of even the largest IT environments - 10,000s devices and 10,000,000+ performance metrics.

Role-based, Customizable Dashboards
Presents customizable, per-user dashboards based on a Web 2.0-style AJAX framework. Alive's interface presents comprehensive, interactive visualization of service or element health, metric data, dynamic thresholds, correlation analytics , and alerts. Interactive widgets include alert control panels, time-series graphs, service topology graphs, geo-maps, heat-maps, and more.
  
  • Makes each team member more effective by providing the right data and interface for each role.
  • Enhances collaboration.

Replication
Out of the box option to enable real-time replication of performance data.
  
  • Increased durability due to performance data stored at multiple location.
  • To address tighter recovery time objectives (RTO) as part of disaster recovery plan.
