Overview

Traverse is a distributed application that comprises three basic software components:

1. BVE Provisioning Database
2. BVE Web Application (User Interface)
3. DGE (Data Gathering Engine)

The BVE Web Application and the BVE Provisioning Database are usually installed on the same server, although you can install the BVE Web Application on a separate server. Depending on the size of your network, you can install all components (including the DGE) on a single server, or you can install the DGE on a separate server. There is only one BVE Provisioning Database for each Traverse instance.

As your IT infrastructure expands, you can add new DGEs as required. These DGEs are responsible for monitoring the IT infrastructure and sending alert notifications when a problem is detected. The plugin actions and the plugin monitors allows you to efficiently extend the functionality of the DGEs beyond built-in capabilities.

Note: See Traverse Quick Start Guide to quickly install and deploy Traverse.
