Amplifying the Transport Layer Intelligence
In my last post, I described how Flow Intelligence can quickly remediate cloud bottlenecks and oversizing. In this post, I reveal a cutting-edge technology that offers the most efficient way to get the real-time data required to build Flow Intelligence. It is based on network sensors that can be deployed in any virtual equipment of a Cloud infrastructure to jointly collect data from the transport layer (L4) and the local system.
Lyatiss is first to deliver this revolutionary technology. The principle is to leverage and amplify the knowledge and the work of the transport layer and its congestion protocol, which has enabled the unlimited expansion of the Internet for the last 25 years. L4 amplification is a critical building block of any Application Defined Networking solution.
The groundbreaking patented technology has many beneficial properties. It is:
Very efficient in terms of data collection and processing — in simple terms, the ratio of information obtained over data acquired is unparalleled.
More than data acquisition – it is fully a part of a knowledge building and decision-making process — i.e., the information acquired intrinsically contains part of the remediation solution. This makes the feedback loop for infrastructure adaptation incredibility fast.
Very flexible – time accuracy (sampling rate) can be parameterized and made proportional to the quality of information required and available time to remediation. The number of metrics collected can be adjusted to the granularity and detail of knowledge needed by the application or the analytics.
Our FlowMapper sensors leverage the unique capabilities of a transport layer extension implemented in an open-source module that has been available for a decade, just waiting for a smart usage such as this.
FlowMapper sensors are available for trial today. Once installed on your instances, FlowMapper sensors automatically discover the communication patterns and provisioning issues within your cloud infrastructure. This gives you an accurate real-time view of the latency being experienced—and the bandwidth being consumed—by your applications.
I invite you to register to our online CloudWeaver service (/) and join CloudWeaver FlowMapper beta. If you are already a CloudWeaver Discovery user, simply log into your account and ask for FlowMapper service to automatically deploy the network sensors on your instances. Once you do, I am sure you will be amazed by the simplicity of the tool and by the information you will see for the first time. In just minutes, you will be fascinated by the power of L4 amplification and Flow Intelligence.
