InsideHPC has a new video podcast online interviewing Stace Hipperson of Real Status, and a demonstration of their IT visualization system “HyperGlance”.

In this video, Real Status co-founder & CTO Stace Hipperson demonstrates HyperGlance, a powerful software package that uses sophisticated graphics and modelling techniques to create real-time models of complete IT infrastructures in 3D and overlays performance and business metrics.

It looks pretty impressive for at-a-glance visualization of a computer network that could be pretty powerful for large datacenters, and I like the deep exploration tools they’ve integrated.  It’s an interesting look at visualization from the Business Manager/CTO side of things, folks that are more interested in “overviews” than deep details.  See the video below.

    We see HyperGlance as way to communicate between the network
    engineers and the Business Manager/CTO types. Seeing the context of network
    outages and inadequate bandwidth is a great way to justify investment in the
    network to drive improvements to business. We take the low-level metrics and
    demonstrate the consequences to critical services in a visual way.

    If you have any follow up I’d be happy answer any questions
