Architecture Overview

High-Level Architecture

The system comprises three key components:

Collectors: Lightweight software components deployed on-premise or in cloud-based customer infrastructures to collect node metadata and metrics.
Data Transmission: Secure and efficient data transmission from collectors to the centralized SaaS platform.
Sopht SaaS Platform: A scalable, cloud-based platform that processes, aggregates, stores and analyzes the collected data.
