Performance profiles and transmitted data
Performance profiles are securely transmitted (over https) as anonymous and aggregated with other customers' profile data in Profile Central--the community pool is hosted, which is then imported into a customer's profile for reporting purposes. This import/export task occurs in a single, daily scheduled Portal process. Using the aggregated community profiles, companies can better gauge if the metrics collected in their environments are within a normal performance range. Profile data cannot be associated with any contributor. No company or environment-specific details, such as storage array or server names, are transmitted. No personally identifiable information is collected, used, or disclosed.
