ExtraHop announced the availability of ExtraHop for Amazon Web Services (AWS).
The ExtraHop for AWS solution extends ExtraHop’s wire data analytics platform to span on-premises and cloud environments in a single management pane, enabling IT organizations to accelerate public cloud adoption by identifying applications for migration and then optimizing their performance, availability, and security.
ExtraHop for AWS delivers visibility and diagnostics across all AWS services, including EC2, RDS, S3, ELB, Elasticache, DNS, and others.
With wire data analytics that extend beyond simple resource utilization monitoring, ExtraHop enables IT teams to predictably monitor workload performance; understand differences between AWS regions and zones; accurately track efficiency and performance-based SLAs; and ensure security with pervasive, contextual monitoring.
ExtraHop for AWS also enables IT teams to better identify applications for migration and architect them for optimal performance post-migration.
The ExtraHop for AWS solution offers a host of key capabilities:
- Strategically Architected AWS Deployments: ExtraHop for AWS gives IT teams visibility into transaction volume, variability, latency, errors, size, and other metrics for AWS regions and zones. These insights into workload characteristics enable teams to optimize AWS deployments and better manage costs based on true workload requirements.
- Optimization of AWS Database Performance: ExtraHop for AWS shows query volume, methods, errors, SQL statements, and related details, providing visibility into transaction-level database metrics and enabling IT teams to identify the best database applications to migrate to AWS. Once in AWS, ExtraHop provides granular, transaction-level metrics in RDS to identify, diagnose, and optimize query performance.
- Visibility into Elastic Load Balancing (ELB) and Auto-Scaling: ExtraHop for AWS shows real-time ELB and auto-scaling events and correlates them with the end-user experience. With ExtraHop for AWS, IT organizations can intelligently set ELB and auto-scaling policies and size instances properly, automatically scale up new EC2 instances based on transaction metrics, and detect and respond to DDoS attacks immediately to minimize impact on end users.
- Integration with AWS CloudWatch: ExtraHop for AWS supplements CloudWatch’s visibility into AWS resource utilization, automatically feeding CloudWatch standard transactional metrics such as RDS or EC2 per client transaction response times. It also ensures more-informed capacity planning and identifies which zones and regions best serve users based on the performance of the applications, end-user experience, and the supporting AWS services. Finally, it can easily be extended to instrument nearly any transactional element, and those custom metrics can also be integrated with AWS CloudWatch.
