- 2. Introduction to Linkurious. Graph visualization and analysis startup founded in 2013. 200+ customers worldwide (NASA, Cisco, French Ministry of Finances). Linkurious Enterprise and Linkurious SDK.
- 3. Unlocking the value of graph data. A graph is a set of entities (nodes) and relationships (edges). Graph databases are perfect to store and process large connected graphs in real-time. Linkurious’ software helps analysts easily detect and investigate insights hidden in graph data.

- 5. Administration and management of an organisation’s computer network to ensure that all technology resources are used properly and in a manner that provides value for the organization.
- 6. The cost of bad IT management. Increases infrastructure costs and generates costly network issues. Downtimes can impact missions-critical services and the organization security. Failures and outages can also lower consumer confidence and damage the enterprise's brand integrity. Average downtime costs range from $1 million for typical midsize company to more than $60 million per year for large enterprises.

- 7. A growing complexity and pressure. High number and diversity of devices in a fast-evolving infrastructure, creating hairball architectures. No single nor unified source of truth because of siloed data. Performance issues when querying connections with relational technologies. Requirements of constant availability of devices and equipment.
- 8. What graph technologies like Linkurious can bring to network & IT managers. Network visibility. Visibility is essential to run IT infrastructure efficiently. Map all your assets and dependencies in an infrastructure graph. Greater usability. Managing all infrastructure components from a single platform reduces complexity and enhances usability by reducing errors. Real-time analysis. Fast responses are criticals in case of outages. Get instant insights when querying highly connected data even in large datasets.
- 9. Easy to represent an IT infrastructure as a graph. Aggregates physical and virtual infrastructure components into a single model. Choose the graph database of your choice. A 360° visibility of your network. NETWORK LAYER PHYSICAL LAYER DATA LAYER APPLICATION LAYER
- 10. Search and explore your data through a dynamic visualization interface. Visually and quickly track dependencies between components. Set up alerts to monitor patterns in real-time. Instant insights with graph analytics.
- 11. Empower your team with data. Directly edit your infrastructure data. Assign rights and collaborate to investigate multiple situations and scenarios. Share results with decision makers via interactive visualizations.
