Overview

Cisco Cyber Vision scale depends on component count, flow volume, Sensor activity, Center DPI, retention, synchronization, and recovery behavior.

Multiple workload dimensions drive Cyber Vision scale. Two deployments with the same component count can have different CPU, storage, and WAN behavior.

Core scale drivers

  • Discovered devices and components.

  • Stored flows.

  • Managed Sensors.

  • Center DPI usage.

  • Packet rate at each Sensor.

  • Protocol mix and metadata volume.

  • Retention period.

Feature and deployment scale drivers

  • Synchronization volume to a Global Center.

  • Replay bursts after outages.

  • Snort IDS usage.

  • Cloud VM, storage, and network profile.
