Storage Monitoring

Keep your storage infrastructure healthy and secure.

With an explosion of data being generated in environments that are dispersed across geographies and clouds, it can be hard to keep your storage infrastructure in tiptop shape.

Slow arrays, ransomware, malicious actors targeting your valuable data, ensuring the integrity of your disaster recovery and backups—these are the issues you have to battle on a day-to-day basis. It's not easy when you lack visibility into dependent systems.

Your storage isn't an island, so it's time to stop treating it like one. Cross-tier visibility across all systems will help you understand the flow of data and keep your storage infrastructure healthy.

With ExtraHop you can:

  • Auto-discover and classify all systems that access your storage infrastructure to understand data flows
  • See the impact of storage performance in the context of the application and user experience
  • Set performance baselines and thresholds that help deliver prescriptive guidance to Tier-1 IT staff
  • Improve security posture and detect threats through behavioral analysis

Use Cases

Advanced Persistent Visibility

Using ExtraHop, the team quickly identified the compromised hosts, which data was exposed, and malicious servers involved. They discovered a compromised internal server being used to stage a brute force login attack on the database, and examined subsequent database queries to understand what the attackers were up to. Then they isolated how the breach occurred and strengthened their security accordingly.

Detecting Data Exfiltration

A large government agency needed a way to identify the source of a data leak and detect any future data exfiltration. The security team used the ExtraHop platform to identify a specific machine with abnormal DNS activity as the source of the leak, and they now use ExtraHop as an integral part of their security monitoring and analytics.

Infrastructure Performance Monitoring (IPM)

The ExtraHop platform makes it easier to manage increasingly complex physical, virtual, and cloud environments by providing deep insight into wire data, all L2-L7 communications between servers…

Infrastructure Visibility for Citrix Environments

Following a Citrix VDI expansion, the IT team at a large research hospital used ExtraHop to pinpoint the source of intermittent login delays: a large roaming profile causing storage contention when loaded. They saved months of potential debugging time and an estimated $400,000 in consulting fees.

Managing Corporate Network Internet Usage in Real Time

A large corporate office with thousands of employees used ExtraHop to pinpoint and correct the source of intermittent service outages across the network: employees saturating the network with video streams of a World Cup match.

Slow Storage Backups

A rapidly growing manufacturer used ExtraHop's correlated storage and network analysis and client performance measurements to find out why new storage backup jobs were taking longer than previous jobs. They saved $250,000 that was unnecessarily earmarked for storage platform growth and network upgrades.

Tiered Storage

Situation Storage teams need visibility across tiers. Just seeing that the storage system is getting hammered is not enough—they need to understand which applications are causing the problem and how…

ExtraHop has saved our bacon several times. We've been able to quickly identify issues that we would have never been aware of otherwise.
