Arxview Architecture
Extensible. Flexible. Powerful.
The Arxview Storage Management and Monitoring System has been thoughtfully designed using a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) to drive and present a unique perspective. Understanding that customers will readily benefit from a flexible, responsive model, the core architecture is fully extensible.
This architecture allows Arxview to include enterprise defined metrics and calculations to suit the needs or requirements of the enterprise. Custom services can also be appended to Arxview as required, providing the leverage to create unique data extracts for use in cube and OLAP tools, or as enhancements to an already comprehensive dashboard.
Arxview is a passive, agentless application, collecting data from discrete interfaces. As new points (appliances, users, geographies and company information) are made available, new adapters are developed to access and process the new information.
As a platform independent application that leverages the flexibility of a Web 2.0 front end, Arxview is compatible with all leading web browsers. Arxview's light network footprint can be attributed to its agentless design. There are no requirements for the development of agents or installation of any application code on any customer storage devices.
Arxview targets and monitors data in the storage environment at the share or mount point level. As such, it is fully vendor-and platform-neutral, compatible with all leading storage types (NAS, SAN, DAS) and vendors, including EMC, Network Appliance, IBM, Hewlett Packard, Dell, Hitachi, Pillar and Sun/StorageTek.
