Anomaly Detection Behavioral analysis functions have been added to existing predictive functions to provide anomaly based alerts and alarms. These are dynamic and change based on ongoing analysis of the environment. Think thresholds but dynamic thresholds based on machine learning and historical analysis. Anomaly detection is valuable as it indicates when KPIs (e.g. CPU utilization)…
What is X-FIT? X-FIT is a distributed time series analysis and forecasting system that uses an ensemble of models. The models compete in a distributed tournament, where the system performs cross-validation and selects the top models based on the mean absolute scaled error (MASE) on the out-of-sample forecasts during the cross validation. Then the final…
Capacity Runway Capacity Runway focuses on consumption from three resource buckets, which include Storage capacity CPU Memory The capacity runway shows the number of days remaining before a resource is consumed. The multi-cluster view is shown as a table and individual cluster is shown as a graph. It uses machine learning algorithms to forecast capacity….
Before – Application Provisioning Public cloud services play an increasing part in an organization’s infrastructure, due to benefits elasticity, flexible consumption, pay-as-you-use and reduced OPEX. However, provisioning and managing applications in a hybrid environment can be difficult, as each platform has different deployment mechanisms, permissions, etc. After – Application Provisioning By using Calm, administrators can…
The Prism Self Service feature allows you to create projects where consumers of IT infrastructure within an enterprise—individual users or teams such as development, test, and DevOps—can provision and manage VMs in a self-service manner, without having to engage IT in day-to-day operations. Prism Self Service Overview Allows end-users to consume infrastructure resources in a…
