What are the benefits of using clustered DataMiner Agents as opposed to separate ones?

When you have a non-clustered system, that means you have one or more separate DataMiner Agents. If you instead cluster several DataMiner Agents together into one DataMiner System, this brings multiple benefits.

• Every piece of functionality can be visualized as one. One system can, for example, present you with a dashboard that combines data collected from multiple DataMiner Agents.

• Capacity can be combined and utilized efficiently across the entire cluster.

• The DataMiner connectors on the individual DataMiner Agents are combined and made available across all Agents in the cluster, allowing these connectors to be used more efficiently.

• An end-to-end view on all services will improve service monitoring.

• End-to-end Correlation Engine and Automation Engine functionality (i.e. cross-system Automation and Correlation).

• Reports containing data from multiple Agents.

• Correlation rules based on alarms from multiple Agents.

• One-time setup of all your email notification filters.

• Administrative tasks only need to be performed once (e.g. setting up automated backups).

• Unified alarm templates and several admin level settings.

• Cross-system Advanced Analytics (e.g. cross-system behavioral analysis).

• Unified Mobile Gateway integration.

• Integration of ticketing platforms.

• Unified user and group permissions.
