Overview

Use these guardrails to reduce performance risk in Cisco Cyber Vision deployments.

Design Cyber Vision deployments for sustained operation, recovery behavior, and future growth.

Use these capacity guardrails:

  • Do not treat validated limits as design targets.

  • Size for recovery, not only normal operation.

  • Keep flow retention conservative until growth is measured.

  • Plan Global Center storage and synchronization early.

  • Reduce traffic scope before escalating hardware.

  • Revisit sizing after adding Center DPI, packet capture, or more registered Centers.

Use these deployment guardrails:

  • Do not treat monitoring visibility as a substitute for Center or Global Center scale planning.

  • Do not mix FIPS and non-FIPS Center or Sensor package assumptions.

  • Do not assume that cloud marketplace images are FIPS-compliant.

  • For cloud deployments, use supported machine series or VM sizes and the reviewed high-performance storage tier for the target cloud.
