Originally published at: 3 Reasons for Customers to Enable Indeni Insight | Indeni
From day one, it was clear to us at Indeni that in order to make network and security operations easier, we needed to get everyone to work together. Existing approaches to business continuity were unable to scale as each operator was limited to their own experience with hardware and software. What data to measure? What results are important? How do I fix the issue? The possibilities are endless. Our idea was to have network and security engineers from around the globe pitching in, sharing information for each other’s benefit. This line of thinking created the foundation of our Knowledge Base and later on the Indeni Crowd (which now has over 1200 members!). Indeni Insight, the global repository for machine-generated data, is the third major component of our strategy.
The Indeni Insight network analyzes billion of points of telemetry, to offer the only repository of production device intelligence in the industry. This level of visibility across firewalls, routers, switches and load balancers allows us to discover and provide remediation steps for issues that would otherwise go undetected through our Crowd-Sourced Automation Platform.
Version 1.0 of Indeni Insight provided a “phone home” system that reported Indeni software configurations and statistics back to the Indeni Cloud. Customers across financial services, healthcare and retail enabled this capability which allowed our research and development team to improve the stability and scalability of our platform. Between Insight and the Crowd, our global knowledge base of network and security expertise is growing exponentially.
Since Indeni Insight’s inception it has taken off in adoption, allowing us to utilize these data points in much broader ways. So today, I’m proud to announce we’re launching three new services that are built on top of Indeni Insight.
3 New Services Available Late 2018 leveraging Indeni Insight Machine-Data
