Your Challenge
An on premise Webtrends system is costly in hardware, network support, access control, spec review and verification, internal costing, and non-expertise with hosting tagged web analytics solutions. On demand (hosted) services also have inherent drawbacks including: no control over data location, no access to reanalyze log files, and extra costs associated with usage. Until now, the only options available were a costly on premise deployment or a restrictive on demand service with limited access.
Unilytics Managed Services for Webtrends is a hybrid solution with the best features of the on premises and on demand versions of Webtrends. Clients get the full flexibility of the on premises software version as well as a hands-off approach to infrastructure management costs. This “best of both worlds” scenario makes Unilytics Managed Services a very shrewd choice for enterprises to significantly cut costs, enhance service offerings, and ensure data is securely stored.

System Description
The following network diagram depicts the network layout and server connectivity which comes with your system:
Configured for Unsurpassed Data Security
We are proud to offer two Canadian data centers, one in Toronto and the other in Vancouver. Your solution is managed for extremely high availability using a “Global Server Load Balancing” configuration for the DNS. In addition, each data centre will have a pair of SDC (SmartSource Data Collector) servers. This means that if there is a problem with the load balancer or entire data centre at one location, your data remains safe and continues to collect at the other data centre.
Custom Designed Data Analysis
For analysis, we provide FTP and direct web UI access to the Webtrends system. With this access, it is possible to reanalyze jobs, freely create new profiles, upload lookup tables, create custom reports, and even easily examine log file contents. Some clients will opt to upload their own log files to the server to have Webtrends process the results. There are no processing limits other than the capacity of the servers which you have allocated and your own Webtrends license.
Support servers (Email, FTP, Backup)
Unilytics will provide a server for email, FTP, backup and long term storage of raw logs. The operation of dedicated support services infrastructure is handled by Unilytics while clients will be able to seamlessly use the services within their managed Webtrends network infrastructure.
Service Level Guarantee
Reliability of SDC (SmartSource Data Collection) servers and Webtrends analysis servers is of utmost importance. Unilytics offers a Service Level Guarantee on the Webtrends system.
