Addressing many of the challenges introduced by a service-based architecture (SBA), Grey Matter combines proprietary algorithms with open source technologies, enabling granular service mesh-enabled observability, analytics, and automation to optimize traffic throughput across on-premises, multi-cloud, or hybrid environments with or without the use of Kubernetes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Grey Matter At-a-Glance<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"gdcalert1\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload aligncenter size-full wp-image-999702\" src=\"https:\/\/941305.smushcdn.com\/2494509\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1\/2021\/08\/ac4419f5-grey-matter.png?lossy=0&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/941305.smushcdn.com\/2494509\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1\/2021\/08\/ac4419f5-grey-matter.png?lossy=0&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-orig-sizes=\"(max-width: 956px) 100vw, 956px\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%27956%27%20height%3D%27539%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%20956%20539%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%27956%27%20height%3D%27539%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/941305.smushcdn.com\/2494509\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1\/2021\/08\/ac4419f5-grey-matter.png?lossy=0&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 956w, https:\/\/941305.smushcdn.com\/2494509\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1\/2021\/08\/ac4419f5-grey-matter-300x169.png?lossy=0&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 300w, https:\/\/941305.smushcdn.com\/2494509\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1\/2021\/08\/ac4419f5-grey-matter-768x433.png?lossy=0&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 768w, https:\/\/941305.smushcdn.com\/2494509\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1\/2021\/08\/ac4419f5-grey-matter-600x338.png?lossy=0&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 600w\" alt=\"\" width=\"956\" height=\"539\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The platform comprises an internally developed control plane for service-based architectures, and either an Envoy or Hashicorp Consul-based sidecar data plane with extended filters for east-west internal traffic routing. An API gateway controls north-south traffic flows. In addition, Grey Matter integrates with Open Policy Agent (OPA) for zero-trust, policy-based access control at every point on the mesh, and is flexible and open enough to interoperate with other service meshes.<\/p>\n<p>Delivering a comprehensive audit-compliance engine and SPIFFE\/SPIRE identity authorization out of the box, Grey Matter provides service audit compliance reporting without special instrumentation. (Note: SPIRE is a production-ready implementation of SPIFFE\u2014the Secure Production Identity Framework for Everyone.) Real-time audit taps at Layers 3, 4, and 7 provide a single source of truth for every user and action on the mesh throughout the lifespan of each object.<\/p>\n<p>Designed to treat proxy-based service mesh telemetry as a source of business intelligence, Grey Matter leverages AI and machine learning to analyze data, including Layers 3, 4, and 7 network insights, for automated performance optimization and resource control. Powered by recurrent neural autoencoders, Grey Matter\u2019s anomaly detection capabilities capture minute operational inconsistencies, predict potential issues, and alert users to inconsistencies against normal operational patterns via an intuitive contextual UI to take remedial action.<\/p>\n<p>Grey Matter is designed to be platform-agnostic and polyglot. The platform wraps existing IT investments in a ubiquitous Layer 3, 4, and 7 network, securely connecting existing operations support system and business support system (OSS\/BSS) layers to cloud-native technologies. Capable of operating in any public, private, hybrid, or multi-cloud or container orchestration platform, Grey Matter comes with built-in support for K8s, AWS EKS, Azure AKS, OpenShift OCP, OKD, Konvoy, and bare metal. It is also container-agnostic, supporting Docker, CoreOS, OpenShift, Rancher, and other containers.<\/p>\n<\/div><div style=\"text-align:center;\"><a class=\"fusion-button button-flat
