CloudIQ is a cloud-based AIOps proactive monitoring and predictive analytics application for Dell systems. Each customer is provided an independent, secure portal in which users can register and monitor their systems from a single portal. The secure portal ensures that each customer will only be able to see systems in their environment. CloudIQ is included at no additional cost for systems under a ProSupport or higher contract.
CloudIQ uses machine learning and predictive analytics to identify potential issues, anomalies, and security risks, and proactively notifies users, allowing them to take quick action to remediate identified issues.
The Cybersecurity feature in CloudIQ constantly compares the configuration of the PowerStore system to a set of user-selected security-related evaluation tests. Upon identifying a deviation between the actual and wanted configuration setting, CloudIQ proactively notifies users of the violation and provides remediation steps to correct the issue. Based on NIST 800-53 R5 standards and Dell best practices, Cybersecurity in CloudIQ quickly and automatically ensures that the storage infrastructure is secure per the industry’s best practices.
The Security Advisories section of the Cybersecurity feature in CloudIQ notifies users of relevant Dell and VMware Security Advisories. Users quickly see a summary of vulnerabilities specific to their systems and code levels along with links to remediation details.
