How Visual One Intelligence™ Works

Visual One Intelligence™ is a subscription-based software-as-a-service (SaaS) product used by infrastructure professionals in midsize and enterprise companies – including cloud, compute, and storage professionals – as well as IT infrastructure managed service providers.

Broadly categorized as an Infrastructure Monitoring platform, Visual One Intelligence™ works differently from traditional monitoring tools. By unifying multi-vendor cloud, virtualization, and storage data in a single platform, Visual One automatically analyzes and interprets infrastructure data at both granular and big-picture levels to discover risks, recommend improvements, and provide deep insights that enhance overall efficiency and ROI in your infrastructure.

These insights are accessible 24/7 via a simplified client dashboard that features over __ out-of-the-box reports and corresponding graphics – no complicated onboarding or designing required. Additionally, our predictive AI sends weekly efficiency reports straight to your inbox. Using anomaly detection, root-cause analysis, risk assessments, and other analytic operations, these reports summarize any new risks, problems, inefficiencies, and opportunities in your infrastructure. 

From day one, your team can immediately access and understand everything Visual One has to offer.

Using agentless data collectors, Visual One Intelligence™ collects data from all physical, virtual, and cloud storage devices. Visual One Intelligence™ then transfers the data to a secure private cloud, where it is sorted and processed. Data is then made accessible to clients through the 24/7 client dashboard, downloadable reports, and regular email updates.

Visual One Intelligence™ monitors all throughout hybrid and multi-vendor infrastructures. Specifically, Visual One consists of five different products:

• Visual Storage Intelligence
• Visual Cloud Intelligence
• Visual VM Intelligence
• Visual SAN Intelligence
• Visual File Intelligence

These five products combine to form a single platform and single view of your infrastructure (although each product is available individually “a la carte” if desired). 

Currently, Visual One is compatible with over 18 storage, cloud, and compute vendors. When requested, Visual One can typically add new device compatibility in as little as two weeks.

Visual One Intelligence™ provides over 65 kinds of reports across your storage environment, encompassing on-prem, virtual, cloud, and hyperconverged devices and environments.

Reports include charts, graphs, sortable spreadsheet lists, and other data points encompassing:

• Capacity planning, performance / utilization trends over time, and forecasting;
• Automated risk discovery, root-cause analysis, anomaly detection, and health assessments;
• Monitoring for over 100 best practice alerts & errors;
• Recommended remediation steps to prevent risks and address active errors;
• Identification of wasted space & opportunities to improve architecture efficiency & ROI;
• Preparation & optimization for data migrations;
• Cloud spending heat maps, trends, forecast, and optimization;
• Chargeback and showback reporting;
• SAN switch monitoring, topology, and capacity planning; 
• File & unstructured data analysis;
• Plus much more

Visual One Intelligence™ is designed for storage & infrastructure administrators, architects, engineers, and directors – as well as IT executives – and anyone else working with large enterprise storage infrastructures (usually 1 PB of storage or more).

Visual One Intelligence™ is also a great fit for MSPs who are looking for simplified ways to manage their clients’ environments.
