Analytics platform spanning unified subnet
Determination and indication of operational performance of deployments in an expert integrated system that has multiple deployments, with each deployment having multiple patterns. The determination is based upon pipe analytics, with the pipe analytics being performed over a common subnet that includes both the analytics platform and the management nodes of each deployment of the multiple deployments.
1. An expert integrated system comprising:
a central processing unit (CPU);
a unified subnet;
a plurality of deployments;
an analytics platform; and
a presentation module;
wherein:
each deployment is respectively characterized by a plurality of patterns, with each pattern representing a set of data processing tasks;
each deployment includes a plurality of virtual machines programmed to perform the data processing associated with the deployment's plurality of patterns;
each deployment further includes a set of management nodes structured, programmed and/or connected to manage the deployment's plurality of virtual machines;
the analytics platform is structured, programmed and/or connected to collect analytics input data from the set of management nodes of each deployment of the plurality of deployments;
the analytics platform is further structured, programmed and/or connected to perform analytics processing on the analytics input data to provide analytics output data that relates to operational performance of each deployment;
the unified subnet is at least substantially limited to providing communication between the analytics platform and the sets of management nodes of the deployments of the plurality of deployments, with the unified subnet taking one of the following forms:
a subset portion of a larger network, or an independent and free-standing network;
the analytics platform includes a processing cluster structured, programmed and/or connected to perform analytics, under a pipe analytics model, on the analytics input data to provide analytics output data that relates to operational performance of each pattern within a deployment wherein the pipe analytic model, which is based on hypertext transfer protocol, provides an architecture that defines and executes a pipe with a sequential search, modification/cleansing of searched data, and visualization of the data using a single thread request/response paradigm; and
the presentation module is structured, programmed and/or connected to present at least a portion of the analytics output data in human understandable form and format.
2. The expert integrated system of claim 1 wherein the analytics platform further includes:
a search cluster structured, programmed and/or connected to hold a distributed cluster of nodes within a management layer so that data is collected from the management layer;
a management module structured, programmed and/or connected to aggregate the analytics input data provided by the management layer; and
an analytics module structured, programmed and/or connected to apply analytics-level machine logic to the analytics input data to generate the analytics output data.
3. The expert integrated system of claim 1 wherein:
the plurality of deployments includes a first deployment and a second deployment;
the first deployment includes a first set of management nodes;
the second deployment includes a second set of management nodes;
the first set of management nodes is located in a first cloud;
the second set of management nodes is located in a second cloud; and
the subnet extends across at least the first and second clouds.
4. The expert integrated system of claim 1 wherein the management nodes are in the form of management blades.
5. The expert integrated system of claim 1 wherein the analytics output data includes information indicative of performance of a set of patterns of a deployment on a pattern-by-pattern basis.
6. The expert integrated system of claim 1 wherein the analytics output data includes information indicative of a set of virtual machines of a deployment on a virtual-machine-by-virtual-machine basis.
