FireScope Unify's new look was driven from extensive discussions with FireScope customers, and the myriad ways they are visualizing their environments ranging from C-level business performance dashboards to granular specialist views and communal service status screens.
A contextual menu at the top right provides instant access to related screens throughout your FireScope Unify experience, driving down the time it takes to complete most common tasks.
Extensive use of HTML5, Canvas, jQuery and CSS3 make it easy to drill down to the root-cause of service-impacting events in just 2-clicks without leaving your dashboard.
FireScope Unify includes over 35 user-configurable dashboard components, or pagelets, for visualizing the health and performance - and business impact - of your critical services. The possibilities are endless, especially since all dashboard configuration is performed directly in the interface, with no need to write scripts or edit code.
Organize your dashboards into Spaces to logically group your dashboards in whatever way makes sense for you. Additionally, dashboards can be shared with other users to ensure that everyone is on the same page.
Drill down from a satellite view of your global operations to the individual facilities and down to the individual racks and devices. With FireScope Unify, you truly have a global perspective on your technology. Click to learn more about FireScope's self-updating data center visualization capabilities.
Today's global enterprise must contend with services who's dependencies are scattered around the world. Only with FireScope can you easily centralize management into a single pane of glass.
FireScope Unify 5.0 is also debuting enhancements to its event escalation capability. For example, users can configure a scenario whereupon a critical application process fails to meet transaction performance thresholds 6 or more times in a week, escalating the event to the business owner and communicating the cumulative financial penalty of $1500 per instance of failure. FireScope Unify's integrated report builder can also leverage this added dimension of event analysis to provide strategic analysis of service performance from a financial perspective. No other solution on the market includes this capability, marking yet another industry first for FireScope.
Out-of-the-box, FireScope Unify includes three dynamic dashboards designed to deliver actionable intelligence within 10 minutes of starting the solution. These include a Configuration Item Quickview for each asset discovered by FireScope, Top 10 Reports and Next Steps, designed to guide users through modeling their services in FireScope.
FireScope's discovery goes beyond traditional approaches, leveraging API's from NetApp, Cisco, VMware and others to profile each discovered asset and automatically configure a best practice collection of data collection, event analysis and visualization. In this case, a NetApp filer was identified and over 180 attributes are being analyzed and visualized in this CI Quickview. Not a single minute of human labor was required to deliver this dashboard.
In this view, we have a logical representation of the elements of a NetApp FlexPod for VMware rack that includes the physical elements such as Cisco UCS, NetApp filers, APC UPS and Cisco Switches as well as the virtual elements such as VMware vSphere. Using this innovative HTML5/Canvas explorer, users can drill down to the logical sub-components of each of these elments.
As you navigate through your FlexPod components, a detail view of key performance metrics is displayed to the right, contextually designed for the class of asset you are viewing.
As you navigate through your FlexPod components, this section of the FlexPod viewer highlights any recent events that have occured with this asset. Click on any event and you will see a contextual menu to quickly get you to related metrics, similar events and more.
FireScope is focused on putting technology in context to the business. Therefore, as users drill down to the various components of their FlexPod, this Service Explorer helps them understand which critical services are being supported by the selected components and bringing greater awareness to how each piece of technology is supporting business goals.
In this sample dashboard treating a core network as a service, we see possibilities for mixing high-level service perspectives with granular, key performance indicators.
