Zero-Load Queries

# Endpoint Management Without the Endpoint CPU Tax

Wartiva answers endpoint management queries from a cloud mirror of compressed endpoint state, so searches, rules, and AI agent questions never add CPU load to your users' laptops. You need to connect AI agents to your endpoint management platform, but driving queries with AI only burns more endpoint CPU, and your end users are already frustrated. “Titanium’s” (aka Tanium) patented linear chain architecture, by contrast, queries endpoints peer-to-peer, adding load to every endpoint with every query you run.

Wartiva endpoints send only configuration deltas to the cloud, where they're de-duplicated across your organization into a searchable graph. Queries run on that graph, and endpoints aren't involved. In “Titanium’s” (aka Tanium) peer-to-peer linear chain, every query hops from endpoint to endpoint, adding load to each one. [See “Titanium’s” peering documentation](https://help.tanium.com/bundle/ug_client_cloud/page/client/client_peering.html).

## Zero-Load Queries Deliver Answers in Milliseconds to Humans & AI

Wartiva completely isolates your endpoints from queries by intelligently computing compressed deltas of critical endpoint sensor data and mirroring them to the cloud.

## Offload Processing to the Cloud

Rules and analysis are processed in the cloud, not on your endpoint. Network sensors offload compute to the cloud using our proprietary Secure Application Encapsulation (SAE) technology.

## Performance-Aware Programming

Most endpoint tools gather data through Windows WMI, shell commands, diagnostic utilities, and Python scripts, and every one of them costs CPU. Wartiva's integrations are written in Go + C/Zig against native binary APIs like Win32. We don't even like forking a process.

Secure Application Encapsulation (SAE) lets the Wartiva cloud run TCP and UDP network sensors inside each endpoint's LAN, routing packets through the endpoint, so network sensor compute runs in the cloud instead of on the endpoint.

Wartiva's endpoint code is a small native binary powered by a Go runtime, leveraging Zig's seamless toolchain to unify high-level concurrency with native C-ABI performance. “Titanium’s” (aka Tanium) Python sensors heavily tax your endpoint's CPU. [See “Titanium’s” documentation of its Python runtime on the endpoint](https://help.tanium.com/bundle/ug_deploy_cloud/page/deploy/deploy_tools.html).
