Visual One Intelligence® Enhances Monitoring for Hybrid Infrastructure

Visual One Intelligence®, known for its innovative Hybrid FinOps and IT Operations Management platform, is taking a significant leap forward with the introduction of enhanced device reporting capabilities specifically designed for Red Hat OpenShift and AWS Outposts. This game-changing development provides IT teams with a unified view into their hybrid architecture, offering insights that were previously difficult to obtain due to the conventional separation of monitoring tools.

Bridging the Visibility Gap

With an increasing number of enterprises adopting Red Hat OpenShift and AWS Outposts for their hybrid infrastructures, the need for consistent and integrated monitoring tools has never been more critical. Jeff Symons, the Senior Vice President of Product Technology at Visual One Intelligence®, highlights the challenge: “Red Hat OpenShift and AWS Outposts are two of the fastest-growing components of our clients' hybrid infrastructure, and historically they have existed outside of traditional monitoring stacks.”

The newly launched Red Hat OpenShift data collector aims to resolve this issue by giving clients unprecedented visibility into vital parameters such as configuration details and real-time performance metrics. By incorporating this data into the same monitoring framework already in use for other environments—like VMware—Visual One allows teams to efficiently optimize workload management, resource utilization, and performance across both cloud and on-premises deployments.

Unifying Monitoring for AWS Outposts

AWS Outposts, which extend AWS cloud services and infrastructure to local data centers, have often posed unique challenges for monitoring. As Symons explains, “AWS presents these racks just like any other cloud resources on its console, which can obscure essential hardware details that on-premises teams rely on.”

To tackle this dilemma, Visual One Intelligence has introduced a dedicated data collector and parser for AWS Outposts. Such tools enhance hardware monitoring capabilities and resource performance analysis, allowing teams to keep a close eye on CPU, memory, disk usage, EC2 instances, and EBS volumes. This development means that several critical performance metrics can now be monitored using the same tools that clients already employ for their VMware environments.

Phil Godwin, President and COO of Visual One Intelligence®, emphasizes the importance of this integrated approach: “When teams have to log into three or four different consoles just to determine if their environments are healthy, it introduces risks and guesswork into operations.” With the new updates, teams can now monitor their entire hybrid infrastructure with the same reliability and simplicity they've come to expect.

The Vision Forward

Visual One Intelligence’s enhancements of their platform to include monitoring capabilities for Red Hat OpenShift and AWS Outposts is not merely an incremental upgrade; it’s a strategic move that aligns with the evolving landscape of hybrid infrastructures. By providing clients with a singular view that encompasses all aspects of their environments—cloud, on-premises, and containerized workloads—the platform effectively reduces complexity and empowers IT teams to focus on delivering value rather than managing tools.

The new device reporting capabilities for Red Hat OpenShift and AWS Outposts are now available to existing clients. By narrowing the visibility gap for hybrid systems, Visual One Intelligence is helping organizations become more efficient and responsive in an increasingly digital world.
