nLayers provides an agentless appliance that automatically identifies, maps and models the relationships and interdependencies between applications, servers and devices in a time-based, behavioral model. The technology is based on Application Behavior Modeling (ABM), a patent-pending technology that continuously discovers and monitors application components, resource dependencies, service levels and usage within data centers. nLayers is the industry´s first complete configuration management database (CMDB) infrastructure solution - combining award-winning discovery and application dependency mapping capabilities with reconciliation, federation, analytics and dashboards.

The nLayers products, InSight and InSight Managed Services have been incorporated into the EMC Smarts family of products: http://www.emc.com/products/family/smarts-family.htm
