NETUITIVE 5.5 FEATURES

Key Features

Netuitive software is the industry’s most predictive analytics software for proactive service management from an end-to-end perspective.  From individual elements, to clusters, to transactions, to complete services.  Across physical and virtual infrastructure.  And across private or public cloud infrastructure.  Some of the key features of Netuitive are listed below.  For a printable version, click here or read more about the Technology behind Netuitive.

Application Performance Health Scores and Dashboards

Enjoy unprecedented end-to-end visibility and executive insight through an aggregated view of composite service health scores.  The  health scores represent a holistic application health score that takes into account the performance of physical and virtual infrastructures, customer experience, and business metrics.

• Details Dashboard (fig 1.) displays detailed composite service health scores that correlate performance across business, application, and IT infrastructure metrics; drill down in one click to see how IT infrastructure performance is impacting applications and the business and to quickly isolate any problem root-causes across IT silos.
• Overview Dashboard (fig 2.) provides summary information on the overall entire IT infrastructure estate and the underlying infrastructure for each service, including health, workload, capacity, and incidents.

Automated Topology and Service Modeling

• CMDB auto-synch and automated discovery capabilities automatically create topological models for infrastructure and services. Or define your own services using the configuration wizard.
• Service Level Objectives (SLOs) help you manage performance according to terms defined in Service Level Agreements (SLAs).

Automated Diagnostics

Drill down across IT silos in just two clicks to go directly to the lowest level components and their performance-impacting issues.

• Behavior correlation (fig. 3) displays automatically discovered and continuously updated relationships between business service components and performance metrics.
• Root-Cause Isolation (fig. 4) shows alarm details that help you automate root cause isolation, including service topology, configuration events, component attributes, and related components that are also alarming.

Performance Trending

Spot trends and forecast performance by the minute, hour and day.

• Short term forecasting (fig. 5) leverages short term forecasting of metric behavior to generate performance alerts warning of impending anomalous behavior.
• Long term trending (fig. 6) leverages long term forecasting capabilities to project long-term (30 to 180 days) trends in resource performance and utilization for capacity management.

Accurate Models of Performance - Actionable Early Warning of Impending Issues

Receive actionable warning of impending performance problems hours in advance.

• Trusted Alarms® (fig. 7) provide actionable warning of impending performance problems on a real-time or forecasted basis.  Trusted Alarms look for statistically relevant anomalies in Netuitive’s Adaptive Behavior Profiles™.
• Self-learned Adaptive Behavior Profiles™ (fig. 8) reflect normal operating behavior of service components by hour of day, day of week and cyclical seasonalities.  Proactive alerts are automatically generated when service performance deviates from “normal” behavior.

Performance Data Search, Query and Reporting

The Performance Management Database (PMDB) is the repository of data which powers Netuitive's real-time analytics and an important source of data for historical performance analysis of IT infrastructure and services. By incorporating managed element metadata from other sources (including CMDBs), the PMDB supports customized reports and analysis allowing organizations to fully optimize the utilization of their assets. 

SmartSearch enables search and query on the Netuitive PMDB to answer any question on your environment’s status, performance, or workload (for capacity management). (fig. 9)

General Reports – Standard and configurable reports give new insight into system health and utilization over any period of time. The general reports below apply to individual components as well as entire services. (fig. 10)

• Workload Reports - compare the service workload of servers, clusters, virtual machines, and virtualization hosts.
• Health Reports – display historical or comparative views of health, availability, and alarms.   
• Managed Element Reports - display summary status or metric details for a managed element (component, cluster, service).
• Top N Report – configurable report displaying a list of “top” components or service based on user defined criteria (workload, health, alarming, etc.) 

Virtualization and Capacity Management Reports – are customizable and specially formulated to give insight into interdependence of performance and capacity in virtualized / cloud infrastructure.

• Inventory Summary – helps you analyze the current efficiency of your virtual infrastructure by displaying total statistics for  VMs, Hosts, Clusters, and the average VM / Host ratio.
• VM Cluster Forecast – shows the 30, 60, 90 and 180 day trends for key virtual machine cluster performance and resource metrics for capacity management.
• VM Cluster Summary Report – displays historical performance summary for clusters of VM hosts.
• VM Utilization Report – displays resource configuration along with health and workload for each VM for provisioning and capacity analysis.
• VM Storage Forecast - useful for analyzing historical and projected storage requirements.

Chargeback Report - allows users to associate costs with resources expended or allocated by VMs for a given application or deparment for a given period of time.

Customized Reports – can be developed using the Integration Studio tool set. APIs and report samples are also included to facilitate custom report writing for end-users.

Enterprise Features

• Optimized Enterprise Architecture leverages a distributed architecture to support hundreds of business services, tens of thousands of managed elements, millions of metrics, and hundreds of users. 
• A High Availability option is also available for mission-critical services.  
• External Authentication (using LDAP or Microsoft Active Directory) eliminates redundant tasks for user accounts and passwords administration.
• A published Web API enables programmatic access to perform a significant number of functions, including alarm management, service configuration and user management.
• Centralized Reporting and Access provides centralized reporting and single sign-on access for enterprise-scale deployments. 
• Netuitive Self-Monitoring provides a template and performance model so Netuitive can monitor itself.
