Distributed Architecture

Large and demanding network infrastructures contain many flow data sources in various locations. Processing large amounts of flow data on a single Flowmon Collector might be feasible, however, this solution does not scale. In a large or expanding network, the capacity of a single processing unit will be eventually depleted. Distributed Architecture (DA) provides high scalability and load balancing for such demanding environments. Flow data is distributed among multiple units for profile computation and other flow data processing. More units can be simply added to increase both performance and storage capacity. Distributed Architecture provides a central console for the management and configuration of all units from remote geographical locations in addition to data aggregation and visualization in one place.
