Deployment scenarios

This section describes possible deployment scenarios.

Deployment scenario 1: low capacity with IDUC channel
Deployment scenario 2: medium capacity with AEN channel
Deployment scenario 3: medium capacity with IDUC channel
Deployment scenario 4: high capacity with IDUC channel
Deployment scenario 5: high capacity with AEN channel
Deployment scenario 6: very high capacity with AEN channel

Deployment scenario 1: low capacity with IDUC channel

Table 1. Inserts only, standard architecture, low capacity
Event volume	Architecture of Netcool/OMNIbus	Capacity of Operations Analytics - Log Analysis	Connection layer	IDUC or AEN	Illustration of this architecture
Inserts only	Basic, failover, and desktop architecture	Low	Not applicable	IDUC	See Figure 1. Disregard the reference to reinserts in item 1 .

Deployment scenario 2: medium capacity with AEN channel

Table 2. Inserts and reinserts, standard architecture, medium capacity
Event volume	Architecture of Netcool/OMNIbus	Capacity of Operations Analytics - Log Analysis	Connection layer	IDUC or AEN	Illustration of this architecture
Inserts and reinserts	Basic, failover, and desktop architecture	Medium	Not applicable	AEN	See Figure 1.

Deployment scenario 3: medium capacity with IDUC channel

Table 3. Inserts only, multitier architecture, medium capacity
Event volume	Architecture of Netcool/OMNIbus	Capacity of Operations Analytics - Log Analysis	Connection layer	IDUC or AEN	Illustration of this architecture
Inserts only	Multitier	Medium	Aggregation layer	IDUC	See Figure 2. Disregard the reference to reinserts in item 1 .

Deployment scenario 4: high capacity with IDUC channel

Table 4. Inserts only, multitier architecture, high capacity
Event volume	Architecture of Netcool/OMNIbus	Capacity of Operations Analytics - Log Analysis	Connection layer	IDUC or AEN
Inserts only	Multitier	High	Collection layer	IDUC	See Figure 3. Disregard the reference to reinserts in item 1 .

Deployment scenario 5: high capacity with AEN channel

Table 5. Inserts and reinserts, multitier architecture, high capacity
Event volume	Architecture of Netcool/OMNIbus	Capacity of Operations Analytics - Log Analysis	Connection layer	IDUC or AEN
Inserts and reinserts	Multitier	High	Aggregation layer	AEN	See Figure 2.

Deployment scenario 6: very high capacity with AEN channel

Table 6. Inserts and reinserts, multitier architecture, very high capacity
Event volume	Architecture of Netcool/OMNIbus	Capacity of Operations Analytics - Log Analysis	Connection layer	IDUC or AEN
Inserts and reinserts	Multitier	Very high	Collection layer	AEN	See Figure 3.

Illustrations of architectures

The following sections show the architecture of Operations Analytics - Log Analysis deployments and how they fit into the various architectures of Netcool/OMNIbus deployments with the Gateway for Message Bus.

The data source that is described in the figures is the raw data that is ingested by the Operations Analytics - Log Analysis product. You define it when you configure the integration between the Operations Analytics - Log Analysis and Netcool/OMNIbus products.

Basic, failover, and desktop architectures
Multitier architecture, events are sent from the Aggregation layer
Multitier architecture, events are sent from the Collection layer

Basic, failover, and desktop architectures

The following figure shows how the integration works in a basic, failover, or desktop Netcool/OMNIbus architecture. This figure is an illustration of the architectures that are described in Table 1 and Table 2. In the case of the architecture in Table 1, disregard item 1 in this figure.

Figure 1. Basic, failover, and desktop deployment architecture

Multitier architecture, events are sent from the Aggregation layer

The following figure shows how the integration works in a multitier Netcool/OMNIbus architecture, with events sent from the Aggregation layer. This figure is an illustration of the architectures that are described in Table 3 and Table 5. In the case of the architecture in Table 3, disregard item 1 in this figure.

Multitier architecture, events are sent from the Collection layer

The following figure shows how the integration works in a multitier Netcool/OMNIbus architecture, with events sent from the Collection layer. This is a best practice for integrating the components. This figure is an illustration of the architectures that are described in Table 4 and Table 6. In the case of the architecture in Table 4, disregard item 1 in this figure.
