Solution Overview
Learn about the possible deployment modes for IBM® Netcool® Operations Insight®, and the different capabilities offered by them.
Netcool Operations Insight offers the flexibility of three deployment modes. It can be deployed on premises, on the cloud with Red Hat® OpenShift® Container Platform, or in a hybrid deployment.
On-premises
In this mode, all of the Netcool Operations Insight products and components are installed onto servers, and use the native computing resources of those servers. For more information, see Installing on-premises.
Cloud
In this mode, Netcool Operations Insight is fully installed on Red Hat OpenShift. Netcool Operations Insight services are containerized, and communication between pods and containers is managed and orchestrated by Red Hat OpenShift and Kubernetes. For more information, see Installing on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform.
Hybrid
In this mode, Netcool Operations Insight is installed with some components on-premises, and some components on Red Hat OpenShift. A new or existing on-premises installation can be configured to work with cloud native components on Red Hat OpenShift. A hybrid deployment minimizes the footprint of the cloud deployment while still providing the power of Netcool Operations Insight's cloud native components. For more information, see Installing on a hybrid architecture.
Comparison of capabilities
The capabilities of Netcool Operations Insight vary depending on the deployment mode that is selected. The cloud and hybrid modes offer more sophisticated cloud native analytics and automations. For more information, see:
