Unified Pipeline-to-AI architecture

FFWD Pipeline collects from all sources in any format, processes at AI-scale volume, and routes to any destination. At the aggregation point—before data silos off to downstream systems—FFWD Correlation has the cross-domain visibility to detect what siloed monitoring tools can't. Correlation is inherent to the telemetry pipeline—it's the only point that sees everything.

Telemetry Pipeline

FFWD-UC : Universal Collectors

Lightweight collectors deployed at edge and remote locations. Docker containers or Kubernetes pods. Collect and parse at source before forwarding to central cluster.

FFWD-DC : Data Cluster

Centralised processing for enrichment, transformation, and intelligent routing. Scale linearly to handle any rate and volume.

Notable pipeline features :

  • Effortlessly scale to Millions logs per second scale on 4 x virtual machines

  • AI assisted : complex parsing, transform, enrichment, log routing operations in-flight

  • Ship to any destination of choice (Splunk, Datadog, Elastic, Kafka, S3 and more)

  • Reduce data volume by more than 50% before expensive destinations

Anomaly Correlation

Detection Engine

  • Blank-slate approach: auto-discover, auto-extract, auto-detect, auto-correlate

  • No biased human input required

  • In-house transformer AI for sequence and semantic analysis

  • Multiple detection models: log structure, spikes, forecasting, drift, clustering, sequence, semantic.

Correlation

  • Marker-based scoring system tracks anomalies over time

  • Cross-domain correlation surfaces connected issues

  • Detects slow-morphing, non-obvious problems

Agentic Root-Cause

  • Integrates latest LLMs: Claude, OpenAI, DeepSeek, Mistral

  • Troubleshooting agent with multi-modal knowledge base (PDF, TXT, JSON, PNG)

  • Evidence-based advisory Sub-agents

Model Context Protocol (MCP) Integration

AIOps isn't one AI system—it's many. Different agents for different tasks, different teams, different use cases. MCP provides the standard interface that lets any of them access your operational data without custom integration work. FFWD is the data layer that powers them.

  • Built-in MCP server for external AI agents

  • Exposes anomaly reports, symptoms, evidence memories, correlation journals, raw logs and metrics

  • Supports Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, custom agents

Private Deployment

FFWD Pipeline runs entirely within your environment. On-premises, private cloud, or air-gapped—your telemetry never leaves your security perimeter. No SaaS dependencies. No data sovereignty concerns. Multi-tenant ready—run as private SaaS for multiple business units or subsidiaries
