Hitachi JP1 Operations Analytics [EOL] vs IBM SmartCloud Analytics comparison

JP1/Operations Analytics investigates and analyzes, from various angles, the failures that might occur in IT systems that have been consolidated via the use of virtual environments and cloud services. You can use the provided tools to speed up system recovery. JP1/Operations Analytics automatically detects the applications, servers, switches, storage devices, and other managed components that make up the IT infrastructure, and then visualizes the associations between the components and the business systems that use them. As a result, when a failure occurs, you can quickly assess the impact of the failure on business systems categorized by importance and then determine an appropriate initial response based on the importance of each business system. In addition, JP1/Operation Analytics displays a list of components as candidates for analysis or other response measures, simplifying the way in which failures are handled and supporting your company's entire failure-response procedure, from investigation to recovery.

There are two main flows in IBM SmartCloud Analytics - Log Analysis - data ingestion and querying.

The data ingestion flow starts when data is sent to the Receiver interface. The IBM Tivoli Monitoring Log File Agent and an EIF Adapter are provided as components of IBM SmartCloud Analytics - Log Analysis so that log data is analyzed by IBM SmartCloud Analytics - Log Analysis using the Data collector or Receiver interface. IBM SmartCloud Analytics - Log Analysis analyzes data and extracts information about the domain, for example, error codes, IP addresses, timestamps, application / middleware / infrastructure domain specific attributes and so on. The extracted information and any additional raw data that you choose to add is stored in the BigData data store.

The data query flow is triggered by the IBM SmartCloud Analytics - Log Analysis application and is used to run queries. The results are displayed or further processed by the IBM SmartCloud Analytics - Log Analysis application extension. A IBM SmartCloud Analytics - Log Analysis application extension can also query an external data source to link a search result to, for example, say performance data. You can also use IBM SmartCloud Analytics - Log Analysis to query to an external data source or to perform analytics on the returned results using logic supplied by IBM SmartCloud Analytics - Log Analysis or by a IBM SmartCloud Analytics - Log Analysis application extension.
