Secure Continuity with Health Monitoring

Visual One Intelligence® offers consolidated alerting, a practice that relies on once-daily data collections to consolidate alerts and warnings into daily reports – instead of constant interruptions that harm productivity and create cultures of reactivity.

By using consolidated alerting, clients have seen dramatic improvements in their ability to plan ahead and address the root causes of potential problems before they become actual problems. For example, one client reduced tickets requesting more capacity by over 98% in one year – simply because they used consolidated alerting to identify and address devices approaching capacity thresholds before they surpassed them.

Importantly, there is next-to-no data quality difference between consolidated alerting and real-time monitoring. In one study performed with a client, the client observed 99% consistency between data collected once per day vs. data collected once every five minutes.

The only real difference? Consolidated alerting takes up less of your time and provides fewer interruptions.

Visual One Intelligence® monitors for over 100 types of alerts and indicators that help you gauge the health and performance of your storage infrastructure – as well as prevent outages, slowdowns, failures, and misconfigurations. These alerts are identified by both Visual One Intelligence® and by storage vendors themselves as important best practice metrics relating to topics such as:

• Configuration and Setup
• Balance
• Server Volume Mapping
• Errors & Other Alerts
• Storage Layout
• Volume / Snapshots

Examples of common alerts include:

• Storage over utilization / over provisioned
• Servers over / approaching utilization thresholds
• Host with no LUNs
• Failed drives
• Host with no storage mapped
• Multiple firmware levels
• Low VM build capacity
• Data stores / hosts with high disk / memory utilization
• ESX hosts with different speeds in same cluster
• And many more

Visual One Intelligence® customers have found unique ways to leverage our reporting analytics – including for aspects of internal security. For example, one client uses performance trend charts to look for sudden and unexpected spikes in workloads – which could be a potential indicator of ransomware given certain other conditions.
