InsideHPC has a new video podcast online interviewing Stace Hipperson of Real Status, and a demonstration of their IT visualization system “HyperGlance”.
In this video, Real Status co-founder & CTO Stace Hipperson demonstrates HyperGlance, a powerful software package that uses sophisticated graphics and modelling techniques to create real-time models of complete IT infrastructures in 3D and overlays performance and business metrics.
It looks pretty impressive for at-a-glance visualization of a computer network that could be pretty powerful for large datacenters, and I like the deep exploration tools they’ve integrated. It’s an interesting look at visualization from the Business Manager/CTO side of things, folks that are more interested in “overviews” than deep details. See the video below.
via YouTube – HyperGlance: 3D Vizualization for IT Infrastructure.
We see HyperGlance as way to communicate between the network
engineers and the Business Manager/CTO types. Seeing the context of network
outages and inadequate bandwidth is a great way to justify investment in the
network to drive improvements to business. We take the low-level metrics and
demonstrate the consequences to critical services in a visual way.
If you have any follow up I’d be happy answer any questions
