Automated Application Grouping

The left-hand panel in the application view groups the applications in various different manners:

• Commercial off-the-shelf software (COTS) applications such as Sharepoint, Citrix, VMware, Symantec, and many others to identify well-known apps from patterns and processes that have been captured in our application library.

• Non-COTS software is identified by the types of processes and patterns of communication, indicating that the processes are working together as a single application or application component. These applications are labeled ‘App 0’, ‘App 1’, ‘App 2’, etc., in the left hand panel.  

• The remaining applications are identified by which processes appear to be working together to form an application or application component. These applications are labeled ‘Apps on machine_name’. Our software searches for well-known patterns in components like web servers and databases and then analyzes the processes that interact with them to determine if they can likely be considered a part of a larger application.
