Cloud, Virtualization, Software Defined Network (SDN) and Hyper Converged Infrastructure (HCI) Topology

Overview​

The Cloud, Virtual, SDN, and HCI device Topology in Motadata AIOps provides a comprehensive visual representation of your infrastructure, allowing you to understand the interconnections and dependencies between various devices and their underlying components. By visualizing the relationships between these elements, the topology map helps you monitor and optimize the performance and health of your environment.

Pre-requisites for a Cloud, Virtual, SDN, or HCI Device to be Detected in a Topology Map​

  • The device should be discovered and configured as a monitor in the system.
  • The topology map will be built as long as the polling is completed for monitors that fall under this category.

Vendors Supported for Cloud Infrastructure​

  • Amazon Web Service (AWS) Cloud
  • Microsoft Azure Cloud
  • Microsoft Office 365 Cloud (O365 Cloud)

Vendors Supported for Virtual Infrastructure​

  • Hyper-V
  • VMware
  • Citrix Xen

Vendors Supported for Hyper Converged Infrastrcuture (HCI)​

  • Nutanix

Vendors Supported for Software Defined Network (SDN)​

  • Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN

Creating Cloud, Virtualization, SDN, and HCI Topology in Motadata AIOps​

The topology for Cloud, Virtualization, SDN, and HCI infrastructure is generated automatically based on polling data. Unlike network topology, a separate scan scheduler is not required.

This example shows a topology created for cloud infrastructure. The topology is automatically generated once polling data becomes available for the cloud components within the infrastructure. The same process applies to Virtualization, SDN, and HCI components.

Representation of Connections in SDN Topology​

In SDN topologies within Motadata AIOps, different types of connections are visually represented using solid lines and doted lines:

  • Solid Lines depict controlled connections between devices, indicating direct and managed communication pathways.
  • Dotted Lines represent tunnel connections, showing routes or pathways established through tunnels for specific data flows.

This differentiation provides better visualization and understanding of how devices are connected and interact in an SDN environment.
