CloudHealth Review

Increase Visibility Through Data Collection And Consolidation

Data collection and consolidation is one of the reliable features available in CloudHealth. It can gather and organize data in one place regardless of which environment such data come from;  be it public, multi-cloud, or hybrid infrastructure. The platform has open APIs which enable users to collect data from services that are hosted in the cloud such as AWS, Azure, and Google.

Gather Data Using Agentless And Agent-Based Collectors

An agentless data collector can also be deployed to hosted and local systems to store important information. Moreover, if users want to collect information related to the performance and configuration of local infrastructures like disk and memory; they will be able to do that using the platform’s lightweight endpoint agents that they can deploy to running cloud instances.

Assemble Assets And Evaluate Data In Many Ways

As the platform gives teams complete visibility of their infrastructures through data collection and consolidation, it permits them to organize infrastructure assets in various ways so they can evaluate the gathered data more accurately and meaningfully. One way is by assembling infrastructure assets and services through the aid of tags or labels. Thus, they can organize their resources by assigning labels according to department product, environment, applications, customer, or role. In addition, the platform permits them to categorize resources by adding metadata to them. This way, they can track costs much better as the platform keeps historical records of their assets over time.

Analyze From A Business Perspective

Another way to organize assets and evaluate data is by making sure that infrastructure assets and services are organized in such a way that they are aligned with one’s business objectives. The platform actually has a feature called Perspectives which are criteria that users can set as they group their resources. Perspectives enable them to assess data accurately to determine whether they are complying with their business goals and requirements and hitting business metrics. In addition, they are very useful when generating reports for stakeholders who are managing and evaluating the health and performance of the infrastructures.

Discover Issues On Your Infrastructure

CloudHealth produces reports that assist teams in analyzing infrastructure usage, costs,  performance, security, availability, and inventory. They will be able to easily identify if there is something wrong in their infrastructures such as when there is a sudden increase in costs or when there are spikes in the instances.

Identify Drivers And Root Causes

Teams can drill down into the details of the reports so they can determine the reason why such issues are happening. The platform can help them pinpoint the things that influence usage, costs, performance, availability, and security across different ecosystems.

Understand How Infrasture Changes Impact Your Business

In addition, because the platform can correlate data sets with business goals and perspectives, users can track how changes in an infrastructure affect the performance of their business. Thus, it provides them with a clear and business-centric way to analyze infrastructure events, trends, and projections; allowing them to improve how they come up with decisions.

Achieve Continuous Optimization

To improve the performance, usage, availability, and security of their infrastructures, mitigate risks, and reduce costs; CloudHealth is equipped with optimization features that enable teams to refine their infrastructures and prepare strategies continuously.

Get Recommendations

The platform can show areas of improvement and generates recommendations as it monitors how infrastructures are being utilized from past to present. For example, it can define specific areas or aspects that need automation.

Translate Insights Into Actions

Also, the platform ensures that all insights can be translated into actions, permitting teams to conduct capacity planning, purchasing, resource allocation, and infrastructure resizing and reconfiguration in the best possible ways.

Policy Management And Workflow Automation

Policy management and workflow automation are the features included in CloudHealth that streamline infrastructure management and governance. With these features, IT teams and managers can eliminate manual processes, save time, and execute actions rapidly. They will be able to create policies and rules that define and trigger automated actions. For instance, they can configure a policy so that an investigation is automatically initiated when a security violation is detected from an instance.

Enhance Governance With Approvals And Authorizations

As users set up policy-driven and automated workflows, they can also create approval and authorization processes wherein notifications and alerts are sent to the right individuals and infrastructure changes are implemented automatically.
