Overview

Federated architecture best fits customers that process a high load (thousands of transactions per second or more) in their gateways.

The cell environment implements the federated architecture by distributing DPOD's Store and DPOD's agents across different federated servers.

The cell environment has two main components:

• Cell Manager - a DPOD server (usually virtual) that manages all Federated Cell Members (FCMs), as well as providing central DPOD services such as the Web Console, reports, alerts, resource monitoring, etc.

• Federated Cell Members (FCMs) - DPOD servers (usually physical with very fast local storage) that include Store data nodes and agents (Syslog and WS-M) for collecting, parsing and storing data.

The cell environment does not replicate any data between the members, so adding more members will not provide any HA / DR capabilities.
