Introduction to AMI

An Introduction to AMI

Overview

The AMI platform is a comprehensive suite of components designed to provide a consolidated view across all the various applications and IT resources within large information technology environments. It has interfaces and adapters for interacting with the most expansive technology environments.

Architecture

The AMI architecture is designed for easy installation with the ability to easily scale as needed. For getting started with lower capacity needs, AMI can be installed and run as a single process. For additional capacity, AMI supports vertical scaling such that the interaction with front end and backend applications can be broken out into separate processes. Beyond that, even more capacity can be achieved through horizontally scaling additional AMI processes.

Single Process

AMI will scale as the processing needs scale. For use cases where all processing can be done through a single instance, only a single AMI One process is necessary. This process contains all the components and interfaces discussed above. The architecture is quite simple:

NOTE: AMI One simply bundles all the functionality of the AMI Relay, AMI Center and AMI Web in a single process (the Relay, Center and Web are discussed later in this document).
