Your customers' IT infrastructure likely generates millions of events each day. Within this mass of events are almost always a few events you really care about – failed login attempts to your domain controller, a denial of service attempt on your Web server, a SYN attack on your firewall. But collecting, analyzing, and then alerting on these conditions for one customer can often seem like a daunting task – let alone trying to replicate this across all of your customers.

Dell has architected its product to be a highly scalable event management platform. Our product allows you to define the rules for analyzing incoming events centrally, and then distribute these rules to a single software service (SilverStreak) running at each remote site. The events are then collected and analyzed remotely and only the events that you identfied are brought back across the WAN for alerting, storage, or reporting. This unique architecture maximizes throughput and minimizes bandwidth usage.

Our solution does not require a VPN, and is completely agentless. We provide advanced features not found in most competitive products – such as alerting on the absence of events (e.g. lack of successful backup event), storing of events for forensic analysis, and trending of events.
