Data Provider Support: public CSPs, data cloud providers, SaaS, data center, and private cloud infrastructure

How data providers are supported
Providers are registered as collection devices under Settings, Collection Devices, where an administrator selects one or more device types from a catalog of 50+ supported types and configures each instance with address, credentials (username/password or SSH key), collection machine, collection day(s), collection time, and timeout. Collection is agentless, performed via CLI or REST API against configuration files and instrumentation rather than workload-intensive agents, and is designed to avoid application performance impact. Bulk onboarding is available through Bulk Import Devices.
Data from every provider is normalized into the same three analysis contexts (Storage, Compute/Virtual, Cloud), the same unified tag vocabulary via Foreign Tag Key mapping, and the same FOCUS-aligned export schema, so provider diversity does not fragment the cost model.
The tables below list providers evidenced in the reference documentation. The collector catalog contains further types beyond those individually named here.

Provider onboarding and management
Element
Implementation
Catalog selection
Searchable multi-select of device types; each selected type becomes a removable chip with a count input and its own numbered configuration sub-form, so multiple instances of one provider can be queued in a single session
Credentials
Username and password, or SSH key as an alternative authentication method; credentials carry a Password Removed state in the device grid
Scheduling
Per-device collection day(s) (Monday to Sunday multi-select), collection time (default 09:00), collection timeout in hours, and an interval reporting flag
Global controls
Auto Upload, Download Schedule, and Auto Update toggles; Last VSI Client Session status; an “Up Next” grid of devices queued for their next scheduled run
Lifecycle management
Add Device, Bulk Import Devices, Update Selected, and per-row double-click edit; devices carry an Enabled state
Onboarding effort
Typical initial setup of 1 to 2 hours including a data collection setup call, with CLI or REST API access arranged per device platform in scope
