Cisco Tetration Analytics, Release 1.102.21, Release Notes 
Introduction 
 
Introduction 
Cisco Tetration Analytics is designed to address number of critical datacenter operational use cases using big-data 
technologies and algorithimic approaches. In the current release of the product, it provides the following functionality: 
 
Pervasive visibility of traffic across the datacenter infrastructure and long term data retention for forensics and 
analysis 
 
Understands communication and dependencies for applications within the datacenter infrastructure 
 
Provides a whitelist policy model and identifies behavior deviation in real time 
 
Support for policy simulation and impact analysis 
This platform is designed to collect this rich telemetry at line rate at datacenter scale. The algorithmic approach includes 
unsupervised machine-learning techniques and behavioral analysis, to provide a turn-key solution. This solution is 
designed to: 
 
Process millions of flows per second, apply intelligent algorithms and provide actionable insights in minutes  
 
Capture and store hundreds of billions of telemetry records without aggregation to enable long term forensics 
 
Provide complete visibility into application components, its communications and dependencies to enable 
implementation of a zero-trust model within the network 
To support the analysis and support various use cases within the Cisco Tetration Analytics platform, consistent telemetry 
is required from across the datacenter infrastructure. Rich Cisco Tetration Analytics telemetry is collected using sensors. 
There are two types of sensors in the this release, hardware and software (host) sensors. With these two types of 
sensors, this solution is designed to support both existing (brownfield) and new (greenfield) data center infrastructures. 
Software, or host sensors, can be installed on any end host (virtualized or bare metal) servers.
