Platform
• Comparative Analytics across
6,000+ Customers
• Multiple Filed Patents
• Solve Client Problems
• Migrate Data Centers / Cloud
• Simulate App Traffic in the

10. On-Customer Premise
On-Premise Analytics Layer Also Available
RN150RN50
Socket Based
Dependencies
• NetStat Collection must be
enabled
• VA installs a service on
machines, collects netstat
information and deletes
service – each time
• Collects socket based
dependencies every five
minutes during the
engagement
Flow Dependencies
(Optional)
• Collects data via Netflow from
network devices, Vmware
promiscuous mode, and port
spanning if needed
• Can accept 10 simultaneous
flow sources per RN50
• Gives rate information for
building dependencies and
network impact analysis
• Great for more advanced
stage planning

Two Methods of Dependency Data Collection
12. On-Premises Deployed
• Current implementation of
CloudScape
• Runs entirely in the cloud
• Data collector deployed as a VM in
the clients network infrastructure
• Presentation Layer and Analysis
Layer both run in the RISC Networks
infrastructure
• Most economical and fastest delivery
of the CloudScape service
• No additional cost
• Available Early Q2 2015
• For clients with high regulatory
requirements (Federal Government,
Healthcare, Financial Services, etc. )
• Presentation and Analysis Layer runs
in the customers data center, all
orchestration (licensing, etc. ) runs in
the RISC Networks infrastructure
• No data leaves the clients environment
• Priced as an node-unit add-on
SaaS Delivered
Flexible Deployment Options: CloudScape FlexDeploy
15. Requires URL or IP
Address to discover
dependencies (entry-point)
and then it collects data on
associated workloads
What happens if a client has 6000 apps?
http://db.app.com
Competition: Top Down
Requires
entry
point
Discovery
or Probe
Socket Based Dependencies
• Agent-Based (a lot of cases)
• Not Scalable for Large Enterprises
• Time Consuming
• Requires Entry Point for Each App
• Error Prone
Agent Install

workload data, applications, services,
performance, etc. FIRST
