1.Data centers, hosting numerous users and applications, have become the competitive edge for research institutions and manufacturing enterprises. Ensuring the integrity and health of data centers is critical—even a shutdown can lead to millions of dollars in losses. Moreover, malicious users often exploit data center access to abuse computing resources (such as running prohibited applications), driving up operational costs.
2.UFM platforms enable you to identify operational anomalies and predict network failures for preventive maintenance. The UFM platform comprises multi-layered solutions and capabilities to meet data center needs, as detailed below:
3.Basic Layer: UFM Telemetry Platform
It provides network validation tools and monitors network performance and status. For example, it captures rich real-time network telemetry, workload usage data, and system configurations, then streams this information to a specified on-premises or cloud-based database for further analysis.
4.Mid-Tier: UFM Enterprise Platform
Building on all UFM Telemetry services, it adds enhanced network monitoring, management, workload optimization, and periodic configuration checks. It also offers network setup and connectivity validation, secure cable management, automated network discovery and provisioning, traffic monitoring, and congestion detection.
5.Enhanced Layer: UFM Cyber-AI Platform
Incorporating all UFM Telemetry and UFM Enterprise services, this platform's unique advantage lies in long-term capture of rich telemetry data and utilization of deep learning algorithms. The platform learns the data center's "heartbeat," operation modes, status, usage patterns, and workload network signatures to build an enhanced telemetry database and identify correlations between events. It detects performance degradation, usage/profile changes over time, and alerts on abnormal system/application behavior and potential failures—even executing corrective actions.
