Alan About discovery tied with monitoring : - We use the continuum pretty consistently among our clients at IBM. Use discovery to find out what is out there, deploy monitoring agents and then use discovery to verify and remediate any gaps keeps your monitoring coverage complete. The difference with Assimilation is that it is all in one product and that tremendously improves the cycle of deployments. The more frictionless you make the process, the better in realworld data centers.
About continuous discovery : - the scan cycles of the existing discovery products have too much overhead to do it on a continuous basis. Agent based discovery mechanisms are more conducive for that. Scalability of existing products of discovery is laughable, so I'll just say - no comment :-) --krish -- I speak for myself. 408.623.1673 On Aug 21, 2012, at 3:37 PM, Sean MacGuire <[email protected]> wrote: > Alan Robertson wrote: >> Hi, >> >> I was talking to a friend this morning about the project, and he asked a >> good question: >> Why isn't anyone else using these techniques in their products -- or are >> they? >> >> To make that specific: >> >> - highly scalable monitoring architecture with fully distributed >> monitoring >> (passive monitoring of resources, distributed monitoring of >> systems) >> - continuous discovery >> - "Stealth" discovery >> - discovery tightly integrated with monitoring >> >> Do you of any products or projects which use these techniques -- or ones >> that used to use them?
