OEM F.A.Q.

Do you want to add powerful event correlation and alerting to your solution but are understaffed and/or overwhelmed by the scope of the project?

The ORION platform is built from the ground up to add event correlation and alerting to OEM products — whether they are client applications, server applications or appliances. The platform is modular, portable and scaleable to ensure the flexibility that OEMs require.


Is time to market important?

With ORION OEMs can rapidly and cost effectively develop applications to meet the ever-expanding list of customer demands. Using ORION will allow you to measure ROI in a few short months as opposed to years with in-house development. OEMs usually get from concept to first customer ship in less than 120 days, as opposed to 12-18 months in a normal development cycle, because the ORION platform already has all of the bells and whistles built in.


Are new revenue opportunities high on your list?

The ORION platform allows OEMs to quickly generate new products that make existing core products more competitive and broadens the OEMs overall solution.


Are you concerned about choosing a platform that will lock you into a single architecture?

The ORION platform is based on industry-standard technologies like Java and XML. If you can run Java™, you can use EventGnosis — desktops, servers and appliances all run the ORION platform successfully.


Is scalability and speed a major concern for your solution?

The ORION platform was built for speed — it was designed from the ground up to handle the millions of events per hour than an enterprise would generate. Additionally, the platform supports advanced clustering which enables OEMs to grow capacity through additional appliance or server sales. Existing OEM customers have proven that the ORION platform can scale to meet even the largest enterprise or service provider environments.


Would you like to be able to develop applications with fixed functionality and be able to up sell new functionality to existing customers?

The ORION platform enables OEMs to create applications with locked functionality so you can distribute the whole application but only activate new functionality with key codes that could be deployed via the OEMs' self-service customer portal. This has two benefits to OEMs. First, OEMs can create trial offerings thereby allowing customers to use advanced functionality for a short period of time before requiring them to purchase the upgrade (a "try before you buy" function). Second, OEMs now have the ability to get into a customer at a lower price point and then provide a compelling solution to convert the customer into a higher revenue account.


Do you have a need for a proprietary data format or a requirement that includes executing proprietary algorithms that contain your "secret sauce"?

The ORION platform is fully extensible to support your proprietary data formats, sources and algorithms. Simply define the data structure, external source properties or the Java JAR file that contains your "secret sauce" and it automatically becomes available in the ORION development environment.


Do you need to integrate quickly with third party devices and applications so you can become part of an ecosystem and not just a stand-alone product?

The ORION platform comes standard with a wealth of connectors enabling the rapid development of an ecosystem. Additionally, it is easy to create your own connectors to support your own proprietary protocols ensuring that ORION is the right fit for you.


Does OEMing core technology from a startup bother you?

The ORION platform has been under development for over five years and has been in full production deployments by OEMs to their customers for over three years. OEMs are using the ORION platform to provide functionality in predominately Fortune 1000 accounts. Some of the largest networking and security vendors depend upon EventGnosis — you can too.
