SD-Platform Overview

The SD-Platform (Simply Data Unified Platform) is a proprietary system designed to transform raw data into valuable insights, empowering organizations to optimize performance, enhance security, and make data-driven decisions. By seamlessly integrating NOC, SOC, APM (Application Performance Monitoring), Data Visualization, and Data Consolidation into a single dashboard, the platform eliminates complexity and ensures operational excellence.

Stages of the SD-Platform Process

Stage 1

Data Capture Layer

Collects data from diverse sources using advanced tools and methods, centralizing them for processing.

Key Technologies:

  1. SNMP, Flow, Syslogs: For device and network performance monitoring..
  2. Packet Analysis: Captures network packets for detailed inspection.
  3. Application Monitoring Agents: Gathers performance metrics from applications.
  4. API Integrations: Pulls data from third-party apps.
  5. Custom Scripting: Python-based automation for specialized data collection.
Output: Unified data streams ready for organization and enrichment.

Stage 1: Data Capture Layer

Stage 2

Data Organizer

Structures and categorizes raw data, preparing it for deeper analysis.

Functions:

  1. Data Structuring: Converts raw data into usable formats.
  2. Categorization: Groups data into logical segments for better accessibility.

The SD-Platform Includes Robust Automation Features

The SD-Platform includes robust automation features, which streamline processes across stages, reducing manual intervention. Automation ensures that data is collected, organized, and enriched with speed and accuracy, allowing your team to focus on analysis and strategic decision-making.

The SD-Platform (Unified Platform) by Simply Data is a proprietary system that captures, organizes, enriches, and visualizes data to provide valuable insights. It empowers organizations to optimize performance, strengthen security, and make data-driven decisions that enhance business outcomes.

Why SD-Unified Platform

The SD-Unified Platform ensures full network visibility, AI-driven threat detection, and unified monitoring. One agent handles security and performance, while built-in threat intelligence enables real-time, automated response with minimal effort.

01.

100% Traffic Ingestion with No Data Loss

The SD-Unified Platform captures all network traffic, ensuring complete visibility without any data loss. Unlike competitors that charge per GB of traffic and may limit data, our platform guarantees you can fully monitor and protect your network.

02.

Unified Monitoring Across Multiple Use Cases

The SD-Unified Platform combines network monitoring, APM (Application Performance Monitoring), and cybersecurity monitoring (SOC) into one system. This makes it easier for your IT team to manage and optimize everything from one place.

03.

AI-Powered Automation and Enhanced Detection

Using AI and AIOps, the platform detects threats, automates responses, and predicts resource needs. With RAG based GenAI, it improves detection, speeds up responses, and reduces the need for manual intervention while ensuring output from AI is accurate based on our proprietary knowledge base.

04.

Versatile Unified Agent for Dual Use Cases

The Unified Agent can function as both an SOC Agent tool for cybersecurity and an APM Agent for performance monitoring. This eliminates the need for multiple tools, saving you time and money.

Benefits:

  • Simpler Setup: One agent handles both security and performance monitoring.
  • Cost-Effective: Only one agent is needed, reducing costs.
  • Real-Time Data: •Provides both performance and security data in real-time for a complete view.

05.

Integrated SD-Threat Intelligence for Automated Remediation

The SD-Unified Platform integrates natively with SD-Threat Intelligence, enabling it to perform IP and URL traffic lookup on 100% of the logs captured to check for reputation in real-time. For those IP or URL that is bad reputation, the platform will automatically quarantine the IP or URL to prevent potential threats. This integration is fully automated and works seamlessly with most network security devices, ensuring automated remediation and enhanced protection without manual intervention.

Why We Developed the SD-Platform

In today’s interconnected world, data powers every facet of life—from how we communicate to how businesses operate and grow. Data isn't just a byproduct of operations; it’s the foundation on which strategic decisions are made at every level, especially in executive management. The ability to capture, interpret, and leverage the right data is critical for any organization aiming to stay competitive and agile.

However, accessing meaningful insights goes beyond simply gathering data. It’s about unlocking the hidden potential in every data source. 

For example, while syslogs are typically used for security monitoring, they contain a wealth of information that can be repurposed for a range of use cases. By analyzing syslog data, we can gain visibility into network traffic, assess application usage, and even inform business analytics and capacity planning. Syslogs reveal what applications users access, how much bandwidth they consume, and provide insights that can drive more efficient network and resource planning.

We developed the SD-Platform to help organizations extract actionable intelligence from any data source, enabling insights that span beyond traditional boundaries. With the SD-Platform, data isn’t siloed or limited by its original purpose; instead, it’s transformed into a versatile asset that supports security, network management, business analytics, and more. Our platform empowers businesses to make faster, smarter decisions by leveraging the full scope of their data.
