Overview

Federated architecture is best fits to customer's that needs to support customers that execute high load (thousands of transactions per seconds) in their gateways, where the vast majority of the transactions is executed on-premise. 

The cell environment implements the " federated architecture "  by distribute distributing DPOD's Store and DPOD's processing (using DPOD's agents) across different federated servers, in order to handle high loads of transactions rate (thousands of transactions per seconds).

The cell environment has two main components:

• Cell Manager - a DPOD server (virtual or physical) that manages all Federated Cell Members (FCMs) as well as provides central DPOD services such as the Web Console, reports, alerts, etc.
• Federated Cell Member (FCM) - a DPOD server (usually physical with local high speed storage) that includes Store data nodes and agents (Syslog and WS-M) for collecting, parsing and storing data. There could be one or more federated cell members per cell.
