Analysis
Evertz' Big Data Analytics system, inSITE, collects, and aggregates all machine
data points (logs, syslogs, events, and metrics from any source). These
collected data sets are correlated to provide users with more effective
troubleshooting information (to identify the root cause faster), key performance
metrics (for system performance and resource usage), and real-time dashboards.
In addition to these dashboards, inSITE provides direct interfacing with other
Evertz software tools (VistaLINK® PRO, MAGNUM, and Mediator-X) to leverage
its data analysis abilities. For broadcasters, inSITE is the leading platform
for operational intelligence within their facility.
