Architecture

Enterprise Network Management
NeuralStar’s architecture was designed to address the lack of integration in the enterprise network management market. Most enterprise solutions are the result of an acquisition strategy that brings together numerous products that don’t necessarily function well together. Often to make them operate effectively together the dirty secret is that extensive services are required.

The result is a multitude of management consoles, agent components, storage and database requirements that pose training, management and support challenges. Getting these solutions to integrate takes considerable time and energy and the resulting output may still not satisfy your IT requirements.

A Single and Unified Architecture for a Consolidated Network View
NeuralStar was built on a unified architecture with one database that allows you to manage your applications, server and network in a single out-of the box solution without extensive service engagements. The NeuralStar architecture breaks down the IT silos and enables your entire IT and network team to get the same common operational picture, so there is less finger pointing and more problem solving.
The NeuralStar architecture uses local network data collectors to gather and process inventory, fault and performance data from the devices on the networks. The NeuralStar client retrieves the data from the collectors and presents an integrated view of the distributed network.

Advanced Disaster Recovery Capabilities
To ensure data synchronization, the local collectors retrieve updated inventory and alarm data from the integrated client. In the event of a network outage, local collectors continue to gather data until a network connection is re-established and replication continues. All the data is synchronized and de-duplicated to make managing your network operations seamless.

NeuralStar’s architecture enables operations that are:

scalable - delivers an efficient code base and robust functionality to enable business and infrastructure growth
fault tolerant – ensures automatic failover and redundancy for continuous operation through database driven transactional replication
distributed - provides visibility into remote deployments for a single view of geographically distributed networks
synchronized - synchronizes global and local views of network conditions
consolidated - aggregates fault, availability and management data from multiple components in a single view
visual – delivers NOC level dashboards that are meaningful and helpful for managing large and complex networks
cost-effective - installs quickly without extensive services engagements, integrates with other management tools and reduces training, maintenance and management costs
