Boundary

Key services
Boundary has developed the first central intelligence service for modern IT operations management (ITOM). The service analyzes and correlates per-second application traffic “chatter” with inputs from third-party IT management tools, to provide IT operations teams with early warnings on application and cloud failures. Boundary users can now monitor their entire IT environments from a single cloud-based dashboard that is updated every second, improving business agility and reducing management costs.

Tools and services description
Boundary is a modern ITOM platform built for modern IT operations. Boundary is a SaaS solution designed from the ground up to match the scale and speed of today’s applications. Massive data sets are collected, processed, and displayed in real time. Plus, it deploys in minutes—settings are automated and no hardware or code changes are needed.

If you’re running in the cloud or managing modern applications, Boundary will provide the visibility you need to be successful. Boundary is also an optimal fit for your Agile and DevOps initiatives, enabling real-time behavioral understanding—before, during, and after deployments.

Highlights of special products
Boundary delivers the capabilities you need to do proactive application management and prevent downtime. Boundary can instantly create and update topology maps. This relational understanding of the underlying infrastructure provides context for the events and metrics Boundary captures. With Boundary’s intelligent capabilities for anomaly detection, drill-down analysis, and alerting, you can do rapid root cause identification and get the cross-component visibility you need to spot rogue resource utilization and misconfigurations.

Following is an overview of the key capabilities Boundary delivers:

  • Centralized ops dashboard. Boundary’s trends dashboard provides a single view for complete visibility into complex, distributed applications, and it provides a powerful, intuitive interface for analyzing changes in your application and infrastructure behavior.
  • Comprehensive coverage. Unlike traditional IT operations management solutions, Boundary helps you understand application and infrastructure behavior, regardless of the language or stack you’re using. Boundary is a language- and infrastructure-agnostic platform that provides 100% coverage.  We accomplish this by using lightweight software agents that monitor all application traffic, all the time, directly from each individual host.
  • One-second data streams. Utilizing real-time application flow data and behavioral analytics, Boundary provides critical context for proactive event management, making it fast and easy to gain operational insights and rapidly resolve problems. The Boundary streaming engine ingests massive data sets at one-second intervals. This per-second data resolution provides the granularity and insights needed to understand and manage even the most complex and distributed systems.
  • Early warning alerts. Boundary delivers the analytics that enable proactive trend analysis and fast anomaly detection. Boundary provides algorithms that can help forecast behavior and generate alerts when appropriate. The solution offers alerting at all levels, including node, application, and group. In addition, you can use Boundary to collect additional metrics, including throughput, round-trip time, and re-transmits.
  • Application topology mapping. Through its automated discovery, dependency analysis, and application traffic collection, Boundary can create and update topology maps in real time. Boundary offers insights that leverage a relational understanding based on application flows between hosts—providing critical context for metrics and events.
  • Consolidated events console. Boundary integrates event data, providing a single platform for consolidated operations management. Boundary offers a pre-built library of event connectors for several platforms, as well as APIs for integration with other tools. As a result, event data from Boundary and third-party platforms can be viewed within the context of application topology.
