Architecture

The following are the main services that comprise UC Analytics:

You can install all the services on a single computer or distribute the services across two or more computers. For a distributed installation, the Data Engine and the Query Engine services can be divided into two different roles:

All user interaction with the product is done through the UC Analytics web site. You configure your target environments and create your data collections through the web site using the Admin Settings. You also create data classifications and grant users access to specific types of data using the Admin Settings.

You view the collected data through insights and use filters to customize insights to include only the data that you want. You can also export insights and set up subscriptions to automatically export and email specific insights on a regular schedule.

The Data Engine contains all the business logic for the product. It determines how UC Analytics stores data and performs the data collections. The Data Engine includes the custom logic used for insights, licensing, tiles; in short, all the logic that defines UC Analytics as a product. You can install multiple data collectors.

The Data Engine can be split into two roles:

The collector role is responsible for all the data collections from your environments such as Active Directory, Exchange and Exchange Online, Skype for Business, Lync, and Cisco. It contains the logic associated with retrieving the data.

The insights role is involved with the user interactions with the web site such as launching insights and entering configuration settings.

You can install more than one instance of the Data Engine (Collector) to distribute the data collection load. When you configure a data source to collect data, you have the option to set the specific Data Engine (Collector) that should be used for that data source.

The Query Engine processes all the data that is stored by the Storage Engine. Processing activities can include finding data, counting data values, and aggregating data.

The Query Engine can be split into two roles:

The collector role is responsible for storing data to the Storage Engine, storing it efficiently and merging it with existing stored data. The collector role can be a heavy user of resources such as RAM. For larger environments, spikes in collector role activity could affect the responsiveness of insights if both the collector role and insights role are installed on the same computer.

The insights role is responsible for interacting with the Data Engine (Insights) to handle user activity with the web site such as launching insights and setting configuration. The insights role can also be a heavy user of RAM.

You can install more than one instance of the Query Engine (Collector) to distribute the load of writing the data to storage. If you are distributing the Query Engine (Collector), it is recommended you install a Data Engine (Collector) on the same server, and that a Storage Engine also be installed on that server.

The Storage Engine is the repository for all the data that you collect and for the settings that you specified when you configured the product. You should install no more than two instances storage engine services to distribute the data storage load across computers. If you install two Storage Engines, the data set is divided across the Storage Engines. There is no redundancy since only one copy of a specific piece of data is stored.

No more than two instances of Storage Engine should be installed.

Information stored by the Storage Engine

Data is gathered from a variety of sources. You create data source collections to gather data from Active Directory, from Exchange mailboxes through EWS (Exchange Web Services) and from Exchange tracking logs.

You can also collect from Exchange ActiveSync logs, from Exchange Online through PowerShell, from Skype for Business/Lync CDR and QoE databases, and from Cisco Unified Communications Manager server and from Cisco CDR logs.

The Storage Engine service is used to store the collected information:

Deployment options

There are two main options for installing UC Analytics:

If you install additional collector roles (Data Engine service and Query Engine service), it is recommended that you have both service collector roles on the same server.

If you install two Storage Engines, the data set is divided across the Storage Engines. There is no redundancy since only one copy of a specific piece of data is stored; no multiple copies of data are stored.

You install the Data Engine (Insights) and the web site on the same server for authentication reasons.

Hardware minimum requirements

If you are installing UC Analytics, the computer must meet the following minimum requirements:

Processor

Minimum: Quad-core 64-bit computer.

RAM

Minimum: 24 GB.

Disk

X GB where X is the required disk space for collected data

For estimates regarding the required disk space for the collected data for different numbers of users for all the platforms, see the UC Analytics Deployment Sizing.xlsx spreadsheet which can be found under Documentation in the autorun.exe.

Generally, using a NAS/SAN device for the Storage Engine is not supported. UC Analytics might support specific NAS/SAN devices but Quest would require full testing with the devices, or device simulators, to support them. Since each NAS/SAN device, depending on manufacturer, is unique, Quest will work with NAS/SAN vendors to certify or qualify a device but the NAS/SAN vendor must be willing to mutually assist. To engage a NAS/SAN vendor and initiate the qualification process, you would send an email to your NAS/SAN vendor and contact Quest Support.
