Solutions – Enterprise Solutions
Large scale and medium scale enterprises have an obvious
need for enterprise level visibility. Given the rapidly increasing number of
incidents that a security or network manager has to deal with on a daily basis,
the need for real-time as well as high resolution historical information is
critical for survival. At NIKSUN, we understand these requirements and have
developed specific solutions for such environments.
Using consistent design principles, NIKSUN’s enterprise
solutions such as
NetOmni 3.0, NetX 2005 , NetTrident 2005 , Central Manager
2005 and others are all enterprise scalable and integrated with existing
products and solutions right out of the box.
Traditional enterprise level solutions scale rather poorly
– there is always a large tradeoff to make. Typically this tradeoff may
be in the resolution of the data vs. the network overhead in transferring the
data, or it may be in the resolution of the data required to solve a problem
vs. the router or switch capacity in obtaining the data. All of these metrics
are inversely proportional, ensuring that a compromise has to be made and accepting
the fact that problem resolution will require a large sequence of manually intensive
tasks.
With NIKSUN’s scalable architecture, all solutions
leverage a distributed and parallel processing architecture around a robust
and scalable data warehousing and mining platform. The data mining engine leverages
the latest web based technologies and query optimization techniques to quickly
produce relevant information at minimal cost. Therefore, the scalability restrictions
with traditional methods are readily addressed solving even the most stringent
requirements. This architecture is so highly scalable that NIKSUN’s solutions
can address the requirements of even large-scale terabit and higher networks.
Even the storage components used by NIKSUN are all virtualized hence allowing
scaling even in that dimension.
NIKSUN’s enterprise solutions thus scale in many dimensions,
including: network rate, storage, response time, hierarchy, price, application
and time. This flexibility ensures that clients can always:
- Add more “horsepower” as needed to solve problems faster;
- Start off small and grow the solution bit-by-bit over time without the
need to reinitialize any sub-component – truly a plug-and-play architecture;
- Logically segment information repositories for specific requirements and
aggregate using free form hierarchy;
- Procure solutions on a project basis to address specific problems while
expanding the solution over time;
- Address requirements of specific applications or services and add functionality
later as needed;
- Provide real-time proactive capabilities as well as historical forensic
analysis.
