OpsDataStore announced the general availability of OpsDataStore 1.0 — a big data back end for all IT management data.
“IT Ops is always looking for a simple and cost effective way to get to the root cause of the problem,” said Larry Dragich, Director of Customer Experience Management at The Auto Club Group. “We have quite a few tools, and OpsDataStore looks like a promising approach to take Enterprise Monitoring to the next level.”
Key features in the OpsDataStore solution include:
- Open Data Collection Architecture – OpsDataStore can consume management data from any platform and any management software product. The solution includes connectors for the VMware vSphere data center virtualization platform, Dynatrace APM, AppDynamics and the ExtraHop wire data platform. In addition to OpsDataStore, third party service providers, management software vendors and customers can quickly add new connectors.
- Dynamic Object Model – Unlike simple metrics stores or log databases, OpsDataStore relates items to each other at ingest time and maintains a continuously updated topology map of the entire environment over time. Any object (transaction, application, virtual server, physical server, datastore, etc.) can be queried for its end-to-end topology at any point in time. The model is continuously and automatically updated, eliminating the need for periodic discovery. The model is also extensible by ecosystem partners and customers for additional objects.
- Real-Time, Highly Scalable Big Data Back End – OpsDataStore is built on state of the art open source, low latency, and big data technologies, including Cassandra (time series database), Spark (stream processing engine), and Kafka (message bus). These technologies enable OpsDataStore to scale to any size environment and process large amounts of data in real time.
- Open Query Architecture – OpsDataStore supports both a REST API and ODBC as an API for data access. Related objects, topologies and metrics in OpsDataStore can be easily consumed by any management software application or custom initiative on the part of any customer.
- Support for Leading BI Tools – The OpsDataStore dashboards are implemented in QlikView and Tableau, two industry standard tools for visualizing data. This makes it easy for IT Operations to publish IT and applications data to constituents that need access to this information.
