Analysis Center imports raw data from AppManager repositories, transforms the data into useful information about the computing infrastructure that supports your business, and publishes that information in graphical or tabular reports.
You can use these reports to:
Track performance: Are my Web servers operating within the limits of current system resources? Is there any degradation of throughput on my network?
Uncover trends: Is there an increase in the number of HTTP requests handled by my Web servers? Is there an increase in the number and size of messages conveyed by my Exchange Servers?
Correlate events: Does the volume of customer traffic during the holiday shopping season overwhelm the memory and CPU of my Web servers? Does an increase in the number and size of messages conveyed by my Exchange Servers have a negative impact on network performance?
Make forecasts: At what point will customer traffic outpace the system resources on my Web servers and when should I upgrade? At what point will the increase in size and number of messages conveyed by my Exchange Servers have a degrading effect on network throughput and when should I upgrade?
Track security events: Has there been an unusual number of failed login attempts? Are my Web servers subject to frequent port scanning?
Analysis Center is built around Microsoft SQL Server, SQL Server Analysis Services, and SQL Server Reporting Services. Employing these technologies facilitate the transfer and manipulation of large amounts of data. It also ensures rapid retrieval of information and provides reports of up-to-the minute analyses of your enterprise.
