A method comprising: receiving an analytic task which includes a priority indicator associated with the analytic task, determining a position of the analytic task in a task queue, the task queue arranged in an order according to their priority indicators, selecting the analytic task based on the order of the task queue, sending the analytic task to an analytics service to determine if the analytics service has sufficient available resources to perform the analytic task, receiving an indication that the analytics service does not have sufficient available resources to perform the analytic task, repositioning the analytic task within the task queue, selecting the analytic task from the task queue based on the order of the task queue and a new position of the analytic task, sending the analytic task to the analytics service, and retrieving another analytic task to send to the analytics service.

Methods and system for throttling analytics processing

A method comprising: receiving network traffic data from a network traffic monitoring platform, the network traffic data identifying communication between entities of an enterprise network and storage monitoring data from a server-based SAN monitoring platform, the storage monitoring data identifying communication between a software-only server-based SAN and entities of the enterprise network, parsing the received traffic data and storage monitoring data to identify object data and/or metric data, creating a metric table entry from metric data, creating an object table entry from object data linking metric table entries with object table entries, creating a link table entry from the linking of metric table entries with object table entries, for each link table entry, assigning an object performance threshold, comparing each metric table entries to the assigned object performance threshold, if an alarm trigger condition is satisfied based on the comparison, then triggering an alarm event and outputting an alarm notification.

System and method of cross-silo discovery and mapping of storage, hypervisors and other network objects

A method comprising: receiving object identifiers associated with each entity of an enterprise network, receiving relationship data indicating directionality of data flow between two or more entities of enterprise network, receiving search query which includes at least one of an object identifier associated with one of the entities or relationship data indicating directionality of data flow associated with one of the entities, traversing a portion of topology to identify objects of the portion of the topology and a pivot point, the pivot point being directionally coupled to at least three objects, identifying two mini-topologies based on two of the least three objects of the pivot point, traversing each of the two mini-topologies to identify further objects within the portion of the topology, generating a partial topology based on the traversal of the portion of the topology and of the mini-topologies, and providing information including objects identified in the partial topology.

Systems and methods for hub and spoke cross topology traversal

An example method comprises receiving a begin time to initiate storage network traffic data collection from a plurality of data probes integrated within an enterprise network, collecting network data identifying HBA ports used to communicate with storage ports from the probes, analyzing the network data to determine attributes of network traffic, determining for each storage unit: a penalty score for each of the storage ports determining a reconfiguration of a storage unit or HBA based at least in part on the total penalty score, simulating changes of the reconfiguration of the storage unit or the HBA and simulate storage network traffic, applying the simulated storage network traffic on the simulated changes of the reconfiguration of the storage unit or HBA to determine improvements, and outputting instructions to enable reconfiguration of the storage unit or HBA.

Systems and methods of application-aware improvement of storage network traffic

A method comprising: receiving from a third party virtualization platform: virtual machine manager identifiers identifying virtual machine managers, hypervisor identifiers identifying hypervisors and virtual machine identifiers identifying virtual machines, generating a first logical mapping of virtual machine managers to hypervisors, generating a second logical mapping of hypervisors to virtual machines, generating a third logical mapping of virtual machines to other virtual machines, receiving from network probes hypervisor traffic data identifying communication between hypervisors and entities of a switch fabric and virtual machine traffic data identifying communication between virtual machines to entities of the switch fabric, generating a fourth logical mapping of hypervisors to entities of the switch fabric based on the hypervisor traffic data, generating a fifth logical mapping virtual machines to entities of the switch fabric based on the virtual machine traffic data, and outputting a master mapping based on the first, second, fourth, and fifth logical mappings.
