VistaPortal and VistaPortal SE in a Nutshell

VistaPortal and VistaPortal Standard Edition (SE) are the presentation modules of the VistaFoundation. The VistaFoundation is a group of InfoVista products that work together to provide performance reporting on IT infrastructures:

VistaPortal retrieves historical performance data from VistaMart, which processes data collected from InfoVista Servers and computes derived metrics.

VistaPortal SE, which is installed with VistaPortal, retrieves live real-time data directly from InfoVista Servers.

Both VistaPortal and VistaPortal SE present data to the user in various reports and formats using a Web interface. These reports can be custom or pre-packaged as VistaInsight® reporting solutions. VistaPortal SE reports are referred to as instant reports, unlike VistaPortal reports.
