Network analytics provider SevOne is moving to the cloud to provide enterprises with visualization tools they need to keep multivendor software-based networks humming.

The SevOne Data Platform, introduced Tuesday, is a cloud service that translates raw data into actionable insights to enable networks to meet the agility requirements of digital organizations, the company says.

"The transition to software-defined infrastructure requires the ability to collect all the data from the entire infrastructure, at a much larger scale than the market has seen in the past," Brian Promes, SevOne product marketing vice president, tells Enterprise Cloud News. The SevOne Data Platform is designed to meet those needs by connecting network and machine data with business intelligence, analytics and automation packages.

The SevOne Data Platform includes several modular components. The SevOne Data Engine collects data and transforms it into actionable, real-time insights; SevOne Data Insight provides data visualizations, which SevOne calls "workflows," based on user roles; and the SevOne Data Bus connects network and infrastructure data to external data lakes, business intelligence packages and automation controllers in real time.

SevOne competes against single-vendor tools from providers such as CA Technologies (Nasdaq: CA) and Hewlett Packard Enterprise . SevOne's value is that it's cross-platform, Promes says.

SevOne, based in Boston, was founded in 2005, and now claims to have more than 300 global customers, including Google (Nasdaq: GOOG), Morgan Stanley , Credit Suisse , Electronic Arts Inc. (Nasdaq: ERTS), Aetna and eBay Inc. (Nasdaq: EBAY).

The privately held company is targeting $80 million to $100 million revenue this year, based on a recent compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 57%, Promes says.
