Actionable intelligence for optimal storage health

Every company is creating and collecting massive amounts of data. This is a relentless challenge for storage owners, who often don’t have time to be proactive when it comes to storage health. Data science can help you stay ahead of potential problems and find opportunities to optimize – and it’s happening today for NetApp customers.

Overview

NetApp® Active IQ® is a digital advisor that simplifies the proactive care and optimization of NetApp storage. It uses AIOps to uncover opportunities to improve the overall health of your systems, and then provides the insights, guidance, and actions to make it happen. We call this “actionable intelligence,” and it leads to higher availability, improved security, and simplified storage operations.

Actionable intelligence

In data science, the volume, velocity, and variety of data matter. Each day, Active IQ receives telemetry data from hundreds of thousands of systems around the globe, adding to a multipetabyte data lake that processes trillions of data points each month. With a massive installed base supporting diverse use cases, Active IQ has a rich set of data for AIOps.

Active IQ continuously assesses this data, using predictive analytics and machine learning algorithms to uncover risk factors and opportunities to improve system health, availability, and security. When a potential issue is identified, Active IQ can take immediate action or provide guidance to remediate a risk or optimize a configuration.

Proactive care and optimization

Active IQ makes it easy to achieve optimal storage health. It’s always on the lookout for risk factors, misconfigurations, security vulnerabilities, outdated firmware, and failing hardware. It keeps an eye on systems reaching performance or capacity limits due to unexpected or rapid growth. Anything that might jeopardize system availability, security, or performance receives attention and action.

Active IQ can also show you how well your systems align with known performance indicators. The health check assessment provides a wellness score, analysis of your environment, and recommendations for improving system uptime, performance, and efficiency.
