DS-9 Netflow VM Sizing Specifications
--------------------------------------

VOSS Insights DS9 for NetFlow sizing specifications
are divided into small, medium and large solutions
based on tiers related to the number of flows that
need to be supported.


Each solution below includes the VM specifications for both
the VOSS Insights DS9 server and the VOSS Insights Dashboard server.

Small Netflow Solution
.......................

The three small tiers in Flows per Second:

* 1,000
* 5,000
* 10,000

Large Netflow Solution
.......................

Two large tiers in  Flows per Second:

* > 50,000 but <= 100,000
* > 100,000 but <= 200,000

.. note::

   The DS9 Collector requires a minimum of 2 Bare Metal Servers to
   collect this volume in one location.

.. note::

   * Larger than 200K flows per second requires special pricing and configuration.
   * Distributed DS9 collection is available.  This may reduce the compute required at each collection location.
