Datacenter Integration
Overview
The BrightCloud Datacenter integration is designed to support centralized, high volume implementations. These are typically found with the following types of customers:
- Carriers
- Wireless Service Providers
- Hosted Service Providers
- Managed Security Service Providers
This class of customer is characterized by a very high number of end points - ranging from tens of thousands to tens of millions - that are serviced by one or more centralized datacenters or co-locations through which the end customer is serviced, and through which the end device http request passes.
Additionally, because of the large number of end customers, these vendors tend to see the internet's Long Tail in action- that is, their end customer access a breadth of websites across the internet's 450 million websites- and for which the leading web filtering vendors of today are unable to provide adequate coverage.
BrightCloud Datacenter Implementation
BrightCloud's Datacenter implementation is, from BrightCloud's perspective, virtually identical to a BrightCloud co-location implementation. A BrightCloud database server and the BrightCloud Service are deployed in the vendor's datacenter, and updated at vendor defined intervals from the BrightCloud Master Database, as depicted in the schematic below:
BrightCloud Platform
The BrightCloud Datacenter implementation is operating system agnostic. It can be deployed in a variety of Linux or Windows operating system environments.
BrightCloud Datacenter Performance
BrightCloud's Datacenter implementation is highly performant. It is able to support an extremely high query rate on standard hardware of over 50,000 requests per second. In extremely high volume environments, multiple BrightCloud servers can be deployed.
BrightCloud Agent
The BrightCloud Agent is developed by the vendor on their operating system of choice. It typically resides on a server and forwards BCAP requests for URL classifications and confidence scores to the BrightCloud Service. Typically the BrightCloud Agent resides on a low number of datacenter servers within the datacenter, with each server implementing a local cache to reduce the number of requests to the BrightCloud Service. However in the event that the BrightCloud Agent is deployed on many end points, the BrightCloud Service is able to support a high number of sessions, which can be increased by adding hardware or load balancers as required.
