Agentless Architecture

Networks are not just a collection of virtual machines or servers in racks anymore, but a multi-faceted mesh of clients and servers scattered across the globe that need constant monitoring and data collection.

The ‘agent’ installed on the device/server responsible for collecting relevant information is becoming a load-bearing dependency for network architects as they require constant updates such as security and configuration, encourage vendor lock-in, and have significant overheads. Agentless is the architecture that does not require proprietary agents to be installed on monitored devices. Agentless cloud management is a quick, easy-to-deploy solution that helps monitor devices without placing a code inside the infrastructure of every asset.

96% of third-party container applications deployed in cloud infrastructure contain known vulnerabilities.

What are the top benefits of this technology?

Reduced Costs

Agentless architecture minimizes administration cost, CPU & bandwidth consumption, and communication overhead that comes with having individual agents in every asset

Simplified Management

The centralized connection of the target endpoints across the network provides a single management panel with better visibility

Improved Network Security

By not having any remote server agents, Agentless architecture has a very low attack surface with quick resolution times

Support across Heterogeneous Infrastructure

Agentless Architecture runs seamlessly across different server platforms without vendor lock-ins or any installation footprint.

Futureproof

Agentless architecture being highly modular, keeps up with the needs of evolving modern cloud-native software

What is unique about ATOM's implementation?

Superior Control

ATOM offers the manageability of hundreds or thousands of instances or virtual machines worldwide without the complexity of handling associated agents.

True Agentless

ATOM does not install anything externally on the devices being managed but uses device native interfaces (CLI, SNMP, Syslog, Netconf, REST, Redfish, etc.) for collecting inputs.

Centrally Managed

ATOM has an NLA (Network Level Agent) microservice running outside of devices to collect information and provide control across the entities in your cloud environment.

Containerized

As ‘network-level agent’ is a microservice, it comes with the ingrained benefits of deployment options, dynamic configuration changes, high Availability, fault Tolerance, etc.

Flexible Deployment:

Depending on the latency constraint, ATOM agents can be deployed remotely, i.e., closer to the devices or centrally, and support exponential scale.
