The DCAE Platform consists of several components: Common Collection Framework, Data Movement, Edge and Central Lake, Analytic Framework, and Analytic Applications.
Common Collection Framework
The The collection layer provides the various data collectors that are needed to collect the instrumentation that is available from the cloud infrastructure. Included are both physical and virtual elements. For example, collection of the following types of data is supported:
...
Fault / event correlation: This is a key application type that processes events and thresholds published by managed resources or other applications that detect specific conditions. Based on defined rules, policies, known signatures and other knowledge about the network or service behavior, an application of this kind would determine root cause for various conditions and notify other interested applications.
Performance surveillance and visualization: Thisclass of application provides a window to an operations organization notifying them of network and service conditions. The notifications could include outages and impacted services or customers based on various dimensions of interest. They provide visual aids ranging from geographic dashboards to virtual information model browsers to detailed drilldown to specific service or customer impacts.
...
Security: Some components of AIC may expose newtargets for security threats. Orchestration and control, decoupled hardware and software, and commodity hardware may be more susceptible to attack than proprietary hardware. However, SDN and virtual networks also offer an opportunity for collecting a rich set of data for security analytics applications to detect anomalies that signal a security threat, such as DDoS attack, and automatically trigger mitigating action.
Other: The The applications listed here are by no means exhaustive and the open architecture of DCAE lends itself to integration of additional application capabilities over time.
