Scalability Engines

Orion ensures that your network will never outgrow your management solution. As a highly scalable, network management platform, Orion can accommodate network growth through the addition of a hot standby engine, multiple polling engines, and additional web servers. Whether your network is comprised of 50 devices or 100,000 devices, Orion can support your growing environment without major configuration changes.

• Hot Standby Engine
  Orion's Hot Standby Engine consistently checks the primary systems' ability to record network performance data. In the event of a failure, the Hot Standby Engine automatically assumes network monitoring responsibility. When a failed polling engine recovers to an operational state, the Hot Standby Engine automatically returns all monitoring tasks to the original polling engine.
• Additional Polling Engine
  With the addition of another Polling Engine, the polling load is distributed between multiple servers for large enterprise networks; a typical bottleneck when polling thousands of devices on large enterprise networks.
• Additional Web Server
  By adding an additional web server, the Orion website can be run on a different machine than the Orion server, enabling more users to access the Orion web portal without affecting performance and providing increased scalability and deployment flexibility.
