ITBI™ – Enterprise Insights

SMT Data has developed a unique open platform capacity & performance management solution:  ITBI™ Enterprise Insights.

ITBI Enterprise Insights collects, aggregates and processes enormous amounts of technical capacity and performance data as well as a broad range of other data from customers’ Hybrid IT-infrastructure across multiple platforms: Mainframe, Windows, and Linux servers, whether these are on-site, cloud-hosted or outsourced. The collected data are transformed by a Data Processing Engine, aggregated, enriched with business, cost and application information, and thereby transformed into useful, actionable knowledge at all organizational levels.

ITBI Enterprise Insights delivers transparency, predictability and accountability in the management of large Hybrid IT infrastructures, empowering IT organizations to deliver the best quality service at the lowest cost.

The ITBI Enterprise Insights Platform can be accessed in different and flexible ways via the ITBI Customer Portal.

ITBI Enterprise Insights is built on a deep understanding of the data, the underlying technical platforms, and the technical and business users’ needs.

ITBI – Business Intelligence reporting: ITBI for Z and ITBI for Servers

With ITBI Business Intelligence reporting, the data from the ITBI Capacity & Performance Data Lake are stored into an SQL server warehouse out of which Data Cubes are generated. Custom BI reports are built on top of the standard data available in the cubes.

ITBI Business Intelligence contains more than four hundred standard reports. These reports have been developed over more than thirty years in a tight collaboration with ITBI customers and cover a broad range of topics related to the customer’s IT-infrastructure. This means that most of the reporting needs of most customers, are fulfilled by ITBI Standard Reports out-of the-box.

New standard reports are added when the need of a larger number of customers converge towards specific reporting requirements. In addition to the standard reports, customers can easily create additional own reports. This, together with the possibility for customers to add own data to the ITBI Data Lake makes ITBI a fully customizable, automated Capacity and Performance Platform.

Alerts can be set-up to notify specific people when a given threshold is met.

ITBI - Direct access to the Capacity and Performance Data Lake

Customers with an AI Developer Access can work directly on the collected Capacity and Performace data with the tool of their choice, such as: SAS, WPS Analytics, QL, Python, R, Julia or other programming languages of their preference. Machine Learning (ML) and AI (Artificial Intelligence) tools can also be applied to the ITBI Data Lake, where data are aggregated at different levels.

The possibility of directly accessing the Data Lake complements the features offered by the Business Intelligence interface and offers extraordinary flexibility to the users of ITBI.
