AccelOps
First software platform to combine deep analytics for network performance & security management, viewable from a single-pane-of-glass
About AccelOps
AccelOps, established in 2007 by founder Sharad Mehrotra, carved a niche for itself in the cybersecurity and network performance monitoring sector before its acquisition by Fortinet in 2016. The company was born from Mehrotra's extensive experience in network management and security, including his time at US WEST and as co-founder of telecom software company C-COR. This background directly informed the development of AccelOps's core product, a unified network analytics platform designed to bridge the gap between Security Operation Centers (SOC) and Network Operations Centers (NOC).
Read full description
The platform's primary function was to provide a holistic view of an organization's IT infrastructure, often referred to as a "Single Pane of Glass." It achieved this by integrating Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) with Application Performance Management (APM). A key differentiator was its self-learning Configuration Management Database (CMDB), which automatically discovered and mapped network assets, providing a constantly updated topology. This integrated approach allowed for rapid cross-correlation of security, performance, and compliance data from disparate sources across the network.
AccelOps operated on a B2B model, selling its platform to a diverse client base that included Managed Service Providers (MSPs), government agencies, healthcare organizations, and retail corporations across the globe. The business generated revenue through the sale of its software, which was particularly valued for its ability to help organizations meet stringent regulatory compliance standards like PCI-DSS, HIPAA, and FISMA, offering hundreds of pre-built reports for this purpose. Following its acquisition, the AccelOps technology was integrated into Fortinet's security fabric, evolving into the FortiSIEM solution, thus continuing its legacy under a new name.
