Corvil announced Corvil Sensor, a software-defined solution for packet-level instrumentation of virtual machines in public, private and hybrid cloud infrastructures.
Corvil Sensor uses a Smart Streaming architecture optimized for real-time, reliable and always-on monitoring and analysis of business-critical workloads in the Cloud.
With Corvil Sensor, customers can now extend the comprehensive operational, security and business analytics solution provided by Corvil to public, private and hybrid cloud architectures.
Corvil sensor is provided as a low-overhead software daemon that can be instantiated on a virtual machine in seconds. Full Corvil analytics can be instrumented dynamically and broadly within the Cloud with live insights and intelligence for HTTP, Database and Storage and other applications displayed on existing customer dashboards within a few minutes of initial turn-up of the Corvil Sensor. The solution assures seamless and reliable access to intelligence from time-stamped packet data streams across private and public infrastructure, giving Corvil customers the same level of diagnostics, forensics and analytics they use to operate their business in non-Cloud infrastructure with no new tooling or training. Corvil Sensor also allows customers to instantly compare performance and application behavior between on-prem and cloud-deployed workloads, and between different cloud providers, side-by-side on the same dashboards.
“Corvil Sensor is a game changer for customers wishing to leverage our real-time analytics and forensics solution in the cloud,” says Donal O’Sullivan, VP of Product Management at Corvil. “We believe our unique approach for assuring reliable and smart delivery of streaming packet data from connected virtual machines achieves superior performance and lower cost compared to competing approaches.”
Corvil Sensor’s software instrumentation empowers organizations to:
- Maintain the same packet-level visibility before, during and after workload migration to public, private or hybrid cloud architectures.
- Obtain complete understanding of how software, network, load-balancers, firewalls and other cloud infrastructure impact application performance.
- Achieve enterprise grade network forensics for advanced cybersecurity surveillance.
- Simplify and automate deployment of ubiquitous monitoring coverage to improve productivity.
- Dramatically reduce the cost of extending packet-level visibility and analytics to cloud and remote infrastructures that were previously cost prohibitive
With Corvil Sensor, early access customers have already seen the following benefits:
- A global bank eliminated the need for physical appliance deployment in its private cloud infrastructure – reducing application deployment time from weeks to minutes.
- A large US bank eliminated 4 days of troubleshooting time spent obtaining packets from its cloud infrastructure provider.
- A SaaS company protected workload migration from on-premise to public cloud infrastructure by using packet-based surveillance to eliminate security blind-spots.
Corvil Sensor will be generally available starting in May 2017 and is offered for free to all customers.
