PowerPoint Presentation

Welcome to Boundary.. A platform for modern IT operations managementWhy is Boundary cool?BOUNDARY provides a NEXT GENERATION approach to NEXT GENERATION environmentsSo what were taking about here is whats under the hood of your ENTERPRISE1

Imagine a Modern EnvironmentCloud Hosted Hybrid?!?!?!Gazillion AppsSQLNoSQLBig DataHome-grown? Future?Gazillion^2 Nodes.per AppAll talking to each other?!

Imagine a modern environmentIf you want to be on the technological frontier you will be facing this scenario

Youre probably operating in the CLOUDAlthough you are just as likely to be HOSTEDOr, you might be in a HYBRID environment

Youre MOST DEFINITELY very smart and forward looking So youre using the best technologies availableSQLNOSQLYou are probably storing PETABYTES of data in a BIG DATA CLUSTERYour TALENTED team of engineers developed HOMEGROWN applications

OH IT GETS BETTERYoure probably managing gazillion squared nodesPER APP!ALL TALKING TO EACH OTHER!!!!2

How do you monitor all this stuff? (I want a pony!) FRESHInstance health is (mostly) meaningless!Cloud poses new challengesFast-changing tech landscape!GREEDY See everything in real-time!1-second resolution, historical dataAny application, environment, architecture!Distributed App context

ANALYTICAL Big Data tells a story listen!Learn behaviors, not transactions!Listen to your Environment!

SO HOW DO YOU MONITOR ALL THIS STUFF?

Apple has these meetings they call I WANT A PONYSo lets have a I want a pony session here!IF I WAS BUILDING AN APP FOR THE MODERN APP?

THINK FRESHGotta throw old dogmas out the window a new approach is necessaryInstance health means nothing in a distributed appMoving to the cloud = limited control and visibilityTech landscape is moving so fast new approaches, new applications, new WAYS OF DOING THINGSYou need an app flexible enough to keep up!!!

THINK Greedy (not money-wise)The more distributed and complex your environment, the more places thinks can go wrong, so you WANT MORE DATA

THINK ANALYTICALLYFind the story, listen to it, learnLearn behaviors and patterns, not individual transactions (otherwise youre married to technology and micro-patterns)Listen to your environment GEOGRAPHICAL, PHYSICAL and VIRTUAL BOUNDS

----- Meeting Notes (6/18/13 14:20) -----YOURE PROBABLY WONDERING

THERES NO SUCH APP THATS SO FRESH, SO DATA-GREEDY, and SO ANALYTICAL!!!

Wouldnt it be great.If such a platform existed??

It exists!! And its called Boundary!!!CollectLightweight Software Agents Observe ALL Network TrafficSend Netflows to BoundaryAnalyzeFAST Streaming EngineAutomatic Dependency DiscoveryHistorical data - year+

EnrichImport 3rd party eventsClean-up correlateProvide App-level Context

So what does Boundary do?

COLLECTWe utilize lightweight software agents on your infrastrureThese agents observe all network traffic flowing through each instance.. IN REAL TIMEActive netflows are sent to Boundary for further analysis

ANALYZEOur proprietary streaming engine processes immense amounts of data in REAL-TIME11 TB/DAY with sub-second processing timeThe engine discovers dependencies automaticallyStores data

ENRICHBoundary realizes that you may be using a number of other monitoring toolsWe dont really have a competitor, so we encourage you to get the most complete picture of your environmentImport events generated by these Tools to Boundary5

How does Boundary help?Early WarningsNot your Grandfathers AlertingMachine-Learning AlgosFix IT before it breaks!

Central Operations PortalSee every byte of traffic in REAL TIMECorrelate Disparate EventsGET the Big Picture!Deep-Dive DiagnosticsUnderstand your Distributed AppsTroubleshoot in Real-TimeObserve Deploys

So how exactly does Boundary solve my problems with all this fancy stuff???

1 We provide early warnings alerts to your modern app behaviorsNot your grandfathers linear alerting (NAGIOS alert = 49)Machine-learning ALGOSAllow you to fix it before it BREAKS, ANGRY EMAILS??

DONT BE THE GUYS THAT JUDGE HEALTH OF YOUR INFRASTRUCTURE BY HOW MANY ANGRY EMAILS YOU GET

2. Central Ops PortalProvide visibility into your dependency treeCorrelate disparate events from disparate sourcesSee every byte of traffic on your entire infrastructure in REAL TIME

3. DDD 6

A (security) Use Case - DNSimpleExternal VisibilityDNSimple used Boundary to quickly triage a DDoS attackBoundary saved our BACON yesterday

In addition to looking INTERNALLY

BOUNDARY can look EXTERNALLY

For example, 2 weeks ago a customer of ours had a problem7

PS. Were hiring!!!

Getting started with Boundary Would love for you to join our happy family of ~1100+ customersWERE HIRING8
