PeerIQ Frequently Asked Questions
What is PeerIQ?
PeerIQ is an optional module for advanced telemetry and analytics that complements PeerGFS’s built-in monitoring. It provides deeper visibility into file access patterns, storage utilization, system health, and user activity. This helps organizations gain actionable insights across distributed, hybrid, and multi-cloud storage environments.
What analytics does PeerIQ add?
PeerIQ adds advanced insights such as replication health, backlog, and licensing analytics; file-system analytics by file type, age, and size; real-time activity tracking (top users and usage patterns); capacity forecasting; and planned auditing and machine-learning–based anomaly detection for proactive issue identification.
What types of data does PeerIQ capture?
PeerIQ captures three primary data categories:
- Environment Monitoring Data (system health, performance, uptime)
- File System Analytics (file composition, age, size, growth trends)
- File Activity Analytics (user access, file operations, real-time activity)
Does PeerIQ use machine learning for anomaly detection?
Yes. PeerIQ includes machine learning-based anomaly detection that continuously analyzes user behavior and client activity to identify abnormal patterns. Using its comprehensive file auditing records of who opened, closed, modified, or deleted files, the system retrains over time to improve accuracy and proactively identify potential security or operational issues before they impact operations.
How does PeerIQ support proactive monitoring, compliance reporting, and auditing?
PeerIQ delivers comprehensive real-time event logging that captures file events and user activity across the enterprise. It provides deep visibility into system health, file access, and replication performance, enabling proactive monitoring and faster issue resolution. These capabilities also support detailed auditing, forensic analysis, and compliance reporting requirements.
Which storage environments and platforms does PeerIQ support?
PeerIQ is designed for heterogeneous environments and supports on-premises, hybrid, and multi-cloud storage infrastructures. It provides a single pane of visibility across distributed storage systems without locking organizations into a single vendor.
How long does it take to deploy PeerIQ and start monitoring?
PeerIQ is delivered as a preconfigured virtual appliance for fast deployment and minimal setup. Most organizations can deploy PeerIQ and begin collecting insights quickly, with dashboards, alerts, and reports available shortly after installation.
Does PeerIQ provide file auditing?
Yes. PeerIQ records every file event and action, including who opened, closed, created, modified, or deleted files. This provides a complete audit trail for security investigations, compliance reporting, and operational visibility.
