E-site management

INTELLIGENT FAULT DETECTOR and performance manager optimizes data centers to catch problems before they impede system functionality and degrade the end-user experience. CyberPilot provides a predictive network policy platform capable of automatically detecting and anticipating subtle performance problems in e-sites, while at the same time proactively correcting them through intelligent, fine-grain and real-time control of high-performance, load-balancing switches. CyberPilot automatically analyzes e-site and network performance data, such as static/dynamic Web transaction latencies and resource-based data collected by CyberIQ's intelligent agents. The system uses anomaly detection algorithms to forecast and detect anomalies in real time, including latency-based anomalies, service-level and performance-level violations, datagram storms, resource overscription, SYN flood attacks and application overload. In addition, CyberPilot automatically and proactively corrects the detected e-site anomalies and problems through decision/policy-based traffic control and redirection, before anomalies escalate into service failures and interruptions.--CyberIQ Systems
