Data Collection Architecture

There are two methods MgC uses to collect data about source resources:

Remote online collection using Edge
Online collection using cloud APIs

Remote Online Collection Using Edge

MgC uses Edge, a tool you need to deploy in the source network, to collect details about source resources in public clouds, private clouds (built using such as VMware and Hyper-V), on-premises data centers (IDC), or hybrid deployment environments.

Figure 1 shows the data collection process.

Online Collection Using Cloud APIs

MgC calls the APIs of other public clouds to collect details about source resources. Edge is not required.

Figure 2 shows the data collection process.
