Product Iris Core

Iris represents a modular framework meticulously crafted for data collection and presentation, specifically tailored for the needs of Communication Service Providers (CSPs) and enterprises that prioritise performance management as a strategic imperative.

Iris Core Serves as the foundational platform, encompassing various integral services:

01

Storage Repository

Stores collected data and device information from diverse sources, including IMP, SNMP, Telemetry, syslog, and traps.

02

Graphing Engine

Facilitates the graphical representation of data.

03

Configuration Repository

Manages all Iris configuration data, covering groups, users, permissions, multi-tenancy settings, threshold data, dashboards, and maps configurations.

04

Reporting

Enables the creation of user-defined reports and scheduling routine reports.

05

Event Management

Handles functions related to events.

06

Thresholds and Notifications

Applies floor and ceiling thresholds to monitor exceptions.

07

Notification Groups

Establishes alerting groups to notify on threshold breaches.

08

Dashboards

Facilitates the creation and customisation of dashboards according to individual user preferences using pre-defined widgets.

09

Search

Enables data retrieval through a search function or a tree layout for structured data.

10

Containers

Groups data into logical containers (views) for ease of use and automation based on a naming convention.

11

Topology

Allows the addition of device dependencies for event suppression.

12

Discovery

Accomplishes device scanning through a network discovery tool.

13

Multi-tenancy

Ensures that views, reports, and dashboards are user-aware, allowing assignment to specific users in a hierarchical fashion. For example, the server team can access server data, while a regional manager may only access data from their respective region.

Key features

01

Efficient Data Acquisition

Incorporating network information seamlessly into a management system is crucial. Iris adopts a lightweight approach by dispatching a single SNMP/UDP packet to each address in the IP range, minimising impact on network devices and sidestepping resource-intensive discovery processes.

02

Streamlined Administrative Requirements

Iris employs a Discover-less Polling Methodology, automatically capturing changes on network devices in subsequent polling cycles, thereby eliminating the need for manual updates.

03

Comprehensive Polling Mechanism

The Iris framework facilitates swift and cost-effective polling of non-standard or new equipment by enabling the creation of simple pollers based on devices’ MIB files.

04

Integrated Troubleshooting

Iris consolidates data from diverse sources, providing engineers with extensive information for more effective troubleshooting.

05

Thresholds and Proactive Notifications

Iris caters to diverse threshold and alerting requirements, allowing for individualised settings and exceptions based on SLA requirements and business hours.

06

Enhanced End User Experience

Iris elevates the user experience through bookmark-able searches, personalised user dashboards, visualisation tools for information maps, and a robust reporting engine.

07

SSO, SAML, and LDAP Integration

Iris seamlessly integrates with Single Sign-On (SSO), Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML), or Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) for a unified user experience from existing authenticated systems.

08

260+ Vendor Integration (MULTI-VENDOR)

Iris integrates in to over 260 vendors, everything from SD-WAN, routers, switches, servers and IOT devices. This unique approach to integration gives Iris the true meaning of a multi-vendor, single pane of glass product.

09

Curated data

Every data point collected by Iris is curated, checked and verified to be as correct as possible. This gives our customers piece of mind that the data we collect across a massive multi-vendor landscape is as accurate as possible.
