3.20.1 Architecture, security, and data collection Figure 3-22 shows the architecture of the IBM Storage Insights application, the products  supported and the three main teams of people who can benefit from using the tool. IBM Storage Insights provides a very lightweight data collector that is deployed on a  customer-supplied server. This can be either a Linux, Windows, or AIX server, or as a guest in  a virtual machine (for example, a VMware guest). The data collector will stream performance, capacity, asset, and configuration metadata to  your IBM Cloud instance. The metadata flows in one direction: from your data center to IBM Cloud over HTTPS. In the  IBM Cloud, your metadata is protected by physical, organizational, access, and security  controls. IBM Storage Insights is ISO/IEC 27001 Information Security Management certified. Figure 3-23 shows the data flow from systems to the IBM Storage Insights cloud. 94  Implementing the IBM System Storage SAN Volume Controller with IBM Spectrum Virtualize V8.2.1 Figure 3-22 IBM Storage Insights architecture Figure 3-23 Data flow from the storage systems to the IBM Storage Insights cloud
