InSight, is an award winning application optimization appliance for IT cost reduction and operational risk mitigation. Unlike other application management solutions, nLayers’ definition of application optimization is built around examining and re-calibrating enterprises so that IT executives have more control over — and can optimize — the costs, risks and resources that make up the ‘cost-center’ that is today’s ITenvironment.

Insight is an agentless appliance that provides real-time application optimization for IT cost savings and operational risk mitigation. nLayers InSight is a self-contained appliance that connects directly into an IT infrastructure. It can be deployed in under 60 minutes, requires minimal operational training or maintenance, and does not disrupt the application infrastructure in any way. InSight is completely passive and collects data by listening to and inspecting packets on the network without scanning, spidering or probing. InSight is based on Application Behavior Modeling (ABM), a patent-pending technology that continuously models and tracks application components, dependencies and usage within data centers. InSight continuously monitors the applications to track demand, utilization and behavior changes, and provides policy-based notifications, alerts and recommendations aimed at suggesting ways IT executives can optimize the application environment to reduce IT costs.

nLayers Hybrid Passive/Active Discovery

InSight provides the visibility organizations need to accelerate and increase ROI on today’s highest- priority IT service and cost management initiatives. nLayers has developed the easiest, most comprehensive solution for discovering, understanding and mapping the complex relationships between business processes, applications and technology infrastructure. Unlike incomplete point discovery solutions that use difficult to- deploy agents to provide real-time intelligence, or those that employ difficult-to-configure agentless scanners that only render periodic “snapshots”, InSight is the only solution that offers instant, passive discovery for immediate, end-to-end real time visibility and the flexibility to selectively “drill down” and compile more detailed information on specific servers or services.
