Illumix Spotlight

Illumix Spotlight is a hardware appliance designed to be deployed into corporate networks to create a vantage point for IT asset discovery and data collection.

Spotlight probes perform a combination of scanning services to ascertain the network topology, equipment in use, protocols traversing the network and business applications that these elements underpin. Spotlight addresses the need for an automated solution to obtain an accurate, real-time understanding of their complex IT infrastructure that has 1000s of applications, servers and network devices.

Typical challenges that Spotlight helps resolve are:

• Manual maintenance of inventory and asset tracking systems for both commercial and home-grown business-critical applications
• Time consuming and inefficient process for collecting accurate usage and tracking for compliance audits.
• Applications not performing as expected due to discrepancies in configuration or topology that are not easily detectable.
• Manual or proprietary methods to get different views of the infrastructure to be able to make business decisions.
• Difficulty in maintaining a single enterprise-wide view of the IT infrastructure across multiple sites.
• Automatically populating a CMDB with a picture of the automatically discovered IT assets.
