NerveCenter is a suite of tools which simplify and improve the way monitor and manage a complex heterogeneous network of systems, infrastructure, and applications occurs today. Capable of operating alone or fully integrating with other tools in an enterprise, NerveCenter contains powerful data analytics capabilities allowing it to take “real time” actions to resolve a problem once it is identified.
The framework provided by the NerveCenter software suite organizes its operation around the concepts of Behavioral Models and Finite State Automaton to solve the complex issues of monitoring systems, networks, and applications in todays complex world. Finite State Automaton models the behavior of objects by walking through a series of states defined by transitional logic and conditions, then incorporates States, Transitions and Actions. A State stores information about past or current conditions. A Transition occurs on a change in State which is described as a condition that enables the Transition. An Action is an activity that is performed when entering or exiting a State, when a Transition occurs, or based on the current State.
In a NerveCenter Model, the Logic Paths, States, Triggers Transitions and Actions are configured by the user to detect states and transition to new states by executing conditional logic. In this way, the user can implement their logical investigative and correlation actions into the NerveCenter Model. By incorporating this Operational Intelligence, the user creates a real-time, event-based approach to delivering filtered, actionable alerts that allow IT professionals to make faster, better decisions. The overwhelming number of events generated by IT operations is filtered using logic and correlation to proactively identify real issues that require attention, eliminating false positives and negatives and zeroing in on root cause. By configuring manual operator actions into the NerveCenter Model, more automation is achieved further reducing MTTR and increasing network up-time. SEE SLIDE 5 IF YOU NEED MORE
