StratoZone data collection

StratoZone bases its assessments on data collected from your infrastructure. This page describes the different ways you can collect data with StratoZone, and provides information about data security in the portal.

Data collection types

You can import data into the StratoZone portal in several ways:

  • Allow StratoProbe to scan your infrastructure and gather specs and performance data, and let StratoZone automatically collect data about your machines and databases. For more information, see About StratoProbe.
  • Run collection scripts within your cloud infrastructure to obtain a pre-filled file that you can upload on StratoZone. For more information, see Import data from other cloud providers.
  • Manually fill in a template table to upload the server names and specs for your infrastructure. Optionally, upload templates with performance data and detailed disk data. For more information, see Manually create and upload data tables.

If you need a high level of data anonymization, you can omit certain fields, such as IP addresses and server domains, or replace server names with placeholder values before sending the data to StratoZone for all three import methods.

Security and privacy

For every server in your existing environment that you choose to collect from, StratoZone collects the following type of information:

  • Machine-level data
  • Configuration data
  • Utilization data
  • Network dependencies
  • Installed software

The breadth of data collected depends on the collection method you select, as well as any security settings that are applied during setup.

Other than IP addresses, StratoZone does not collect personally identifiable information (PII) or data subject to PCI or HIPAA compliance requirements. StratoZone does not collect data from within your applications, databases (unless doing a database scan where database credentials are provided), or file storage.

All collected data is used solely to analyze your IT infrastructure for a cloud assessment and migration plan. Your data is never sold to any 3rd parties.

The StratoZone portal and related data is hosted in Google Cloud us-west1 (Oregon) and us-west4 (Las Vegas) regions.
