CATS™ Framework in detail

In2IT has gone into great depths to understand its customer’s infrastructure, their business & process needs and come out with a Technical reference & Governance model that organisations can relate to and build upon.

CATS™ tooling architecture integrates multiple tools together to provide a true business value in a unified console and at the same time retains the functional modularity of each tool.

IT Infrastructure & Cloud Discovery

Discovery enables to create an accurate, up‑to‑date, single system of record for IT infrastructure, both on‑premises and in public clouds. It helps to define IP‑enabled configuration items (CIs), maps their interdependencies, and populates and maintains them in the Configuration Management Database (CMDB). CATS™ framework enables OOB integration with many industry specific discovery and application dependency mapping products. Discovery helps ensure the accuracy of the CI data across your enterprise. It’s also a foundational ingredient in our solution for eliminating service outages or for impact analysis.

Element Manager layer

This layer collects the fault and performance data from various infrastructure elements such as servers, storage/backup, databases and middleware applications. All The raw events are then forwarded to event Aggregation & Correlation engine.

Event Aggregation & Correlation engine

All the events data collected from the element monitoring tools will be integrated in the Manager of Mangers layer for root-cause-analysis and event consolidation to give an enterprise view of the IT events. Which intern help us to reduce false positives and helps engineers to work on the root cause of the problem.  Qualified Events will be passed to the Service management layer in the form of auto generated incident tickets, and are then tracked as such.

Event Automation

This Automation layer helps customers to define, build, orchestrate, and manage standard operating procedures. This knowledge base is built up over time and the collaboration is fostered between Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) and operational staff. This is a controlled set of automated and manual steps that support system and network operational processes. We trigger and orchestrate all types of infrastructure elements, like applications, network components, or servers depending upon qualification of events.

Virtual Assistant [CHATBOT]

This Layer is integrated with various customer interfaces like web, Messenger e.g. Dashboard, Enterprise Applications [SharePoint], WhatsApp etc. and provides an interactive user interface powered by rules and artificial intelligence that makes it easy for your audience to converse with services offered.

ITSM Layer

Enables all the ITIL-defined processes like: Incident Management, Problem Management, Change Management, Service Request Management, Asset Management, Service Level Management and the underlying core CMDB.

Automation and Service Orchestration

Is an approach to developing enterprise systems by loosely coupling interoperable services – small units of software that perform discrete tasks when called upon – from separate systems across different business domains. This helps and reduces the provisioning time of any service deployment.

Integrated Command Center

Is a unified Infrastructure & Application support team who monitors Enterprise IT landscape and provides availability of business transactions. This is achieved via integrated monitoring of the following: – Infrastructure, Application and business transactions.

Unified Dashboard

Unified IT dashboard enables and provides integrated views that collect and communicate key data in a clear manner. It monitors, measures and manages IT services and performance to help executives and managers make informed decisions that support the strategic objectives of IT organisations. CATS™ Dashboard provides the high-level views and reporting that IT management wants, while also offering the day-to-day and deep dive tools that IT administrators need to monitor performance, availability and capacity across all platforms, environments, servers, networks, applications and business services. Reacting to problems proactively.
