Small Deployments

• Multicast / AutoDiscovery

• Fully meshed

• Easy setup

• Data for any node from any

node

Deployment Model

Confidential

Large Deployments

Managing Nodes• Tree structure• Can be configured up or down• Extends and grows easily• Can configure fail-over• Data v isibility depends on where

you request from• Can only see ‘down’ the tree

It’s all PROGNOSIS layer routing• Direct connections not required for

top to see bottom• PROGNOSIS is aware of multiple

paths• Weights can be applied

Deployment Model

Confidential

Large Deployments

Even Bigger…• Use of load-balancers (3rdparty)• Collecting nodes configured to

connect to load balancer(s)• Load balancers balance

connections between 2 or more Managing Nodes

• Regions/departments can be connected

• Simplifies configuration• Manages network load• More scope for redundancy and

failover
