PRODUCTS >> WHY XANGATI?

Why Xangati? For when you need to know what is happening on your infrastructure right now.

What you can’t see, you can’t manage. While blind spots have always existed in your networked communications, new technologies like virtualization and cloud computing are making them impossible to ignore. As your networks and applications have become more dynamic, visibility into what each device is doing on your network can make the difference between satisfied users or frustration, wasted time and project failure. With enterprises moving faster than they ever have before, you need live, to-the-second, “video like” visibility into your networked IP communications.

Only with live visibility into your network can you effectively perform IT responsibilities such as troubleshooting, virtualization management, change verification and alarm triage.

Live, to-the-second visibility for a true understanding of what is happening on your network—right now

The only way to see hiccups in performance is to have granularity down to-the-second for the end-user, application or server that is being addressed. Without this high-definition visibility, intermittent performance issues can be introduced and linger. They linger because traditional management solutions are primarily based on polling data which comes at intervals that are not frequent enough to capture dynamic performance changes that come and go “in the blink of an eye” in the virtual world.

Seamless management of both your virtual and physical infrastructures

The Xangati solution can track anything that has a presence on an IP infrastructure, which includes IP-networked devices (e.g., hypervisors, VMs, iSCSI targets, thin clients, VoIP phones, physical servers, etc.), applications and network interfaces. For any of these elements, Xangati is aware of their application interactions with the rest of the infrastructure. The focus on interactions is essential as it shows the relationships between elements within your virtual ecosystem and between your virtual and physical domains. Only through this visibility can you see if elements on your infrastructure are communicating in the way you would expect. And because everything that is tracked is not only presented live, but has a history with it, you can monitor changes you make to show the positive effects and to ensure that nothing has been adversely affected.

DVR-recordings to catch and resolve hard-to-find performance issues

In addition to presenting information live the system produces “DVR-like” recordings of any activity, so that there is full situational awareness at the time of a performance problem. This way, one does not have to wait to try to “re-create” the problem which in a virtual world can often be a futile effort.

Zero-footprint—no agents, no probes for immediate visibility and an immediate ROI

The Xangati solution gets its fuel from NetFlow which is a data feed supported by both virtual switches and physical routers/switches. NetFlow summarizes all communication that traverses the network and is pushed effortlessly to the Xangati appliance which then consumes that information in the unique ways highlighted above. In this manner, IT gets comprehensive coverage immediately upon deployment vs. the piecemeal and costly deployment scenarios that one sees with agents and probes.
