      OmniPoint™ Element

      Application Performance Visibility
      for the Cloud Environment

    OmniPoint™ Element

    OmniPoint™ Element is a highly flexible and scalable point-of presence solution that provides users with application, network and VoIP visibility in virtualized environments.

    Utilized as a clear, demarcation point for problem domain isolation, OmniPoint allows for quicker time to identify and resolve issues between a siloed IT infrastructure and multi-vendor solutions.

    Server connect and server response times are measured within the OmniPoint automatically with baselining and alarms of the auto discovered applications.

    OmniPoint Element provides a scalable deployment on the customized Analysis Service Elements (ASEs), routers, virtual hosts, or acceleration devices.

    OmniPoint collects and sends data to the multi-tenant Visual Performance Manager solution, in an economical, and efficient manner, providing deep packet visibility at the installation point. (click to view larger)

    OmniPoint Element supports deployment on:

    • Cisco SRE-V platform for the Cisco SRE 700 & 900
    • Riverbed Service Platform (RSP)
    • Virtual machine (VM ESXi) environments by installing an OVF file
    • Analysis Service Elements (ASE)

    Cisco Support

    The Cisco Services Ready Engine (SRE) modules are router blades for the second generation of Cisco Integrated Services Routers (ISR G2) that provide the capability to host Cisco, third-party, and custom applications, like the OmniPoint Element virtual appliance.

    A service-ready deployment model allows OmniPoint Element to be installed remotely and hosted by the branch office router at any time without a truck roll to the location. SRE modules have their own processors, storage, network interfaces, and memory, which operate independently of the host router resources and ensure maximum concurrent routing and application performance.

    The Cisco Unified Computing System Express (UCS Express) is a converged networking, computing, and virtualization platform for hosting essential infrastructure services and mission-critical business applications in the lean branch office.

    The OmniPoint Element utilizes the Cisco SRE and UCS Express platform to analyze traffic flowing in and out of a branch office location and provide visibility into application, network, and VoIP performance. This capability can be provided as part of a turn-key managed service. OmniPoint Element allows branch offices to run common applications like DHCP, FTP, DNS, and Print services on the router reducing the number of hardware and servers at remote locations.

    Riverbed Support

    The Riverbed Service Platform (RSP) allows third party virtual appliances to be hosted on Steelhead appliances. An easy to use configuration engine also allows OmniPoint to be quickly installed to monitor the network on appliances already deployed on the network.

    VmWare Support

    OmniPoint can also be hosted on any VMWare ESXi environment providing visibility into the virtualized environments with deep packet inspection for events, utilization, and application response time measurements. This allows segmentation and ownership of issues for quicker time to identify issues.

    Analysis Service Element (ASE's)

    Customized Visual Networks Systems hardware allows for Layer 1-7 visibility and NetFlow export to be integrated within the VPM 7.1 Server allowing for even greater deployment flexibility.

    OmniPoint Element can play a key role in providing a complete library of in-depth application and network performance reports.

    There are more than seventy standard reports available, and a custom report wizard walks you step-by-step through any custom report definition. If a custom report is created, users have the option to keep it private or share the template with another user or group.
