IBM QRadar Event Collector or QFlow Collector 1201/1501
The IBM® QRadar® QFlow Collector 1201/1501 (MTM 4563-Q5D)appliance can be used as an event collector or a QFlow collector. As a dedicated event collector, IBM QRadar QFlow Collector 1201/1501 appliance collects and parses events from various log sources and continuously forwards these events to an event processor. You can configure the IBM QRadar QFlow Collector 1201/1501 appliance to temporarily store events and only forward the stored events on a schedule. A dedicated event collector does not process events and it does not include an on-board event processor. As a QFlow collector, the appliance provides high capacity and scalable Layer 7 application data collection for distributed deployments and also supports external flow-based data sources. IBM QRadar QFlow Collector 1201/1501 is based on the Lenovo System SR630 M6.
