Exinda Scalability

It scales out with what you have. I haven't really had any reason to scale it up. We're not really seeing huge jumps to where we would have to accommodate so much extra bandwidth. Our appliance right now would go and accommodate up to three gigs, so it's got plenty of room for growth. Therefore, I don't foresee any major leaps and bounds in network utilization. It stays pretty consistent and there is plenty of room for growth. With all that we're throwing at it right now, we have not seen any major jumps with all the streaming usage, conference software, etc. It seems to be handling that pretty well. 

We're not at peak capacity on how much traffic it can handle. We have a lot of room for growth on our level of clients. So, I think it is pretty scalable. It gives you a pretty good range.

My only complaint about the scalability would be that once you get over about 500 or 600 Mb, it does start to not be as compliant. We haven't spoken to them about it because I don't think they have pushed the envelope as far as we have. I don't think they would understand that part of it. It does what it needs to do. We are trying to make it do a little bit more.

We have plans to increase usage in the future. There has been a bit of a downturn with things like cruise boats, due to COVID, but once that picks back up again we should be fine and installing a lot more of them.

I think it scales well. If you need to upgrade licenses, it's fairly easy to do. You do have to go through a fairly lengthy presales process to get new licenses. But in terms of scalability and manageability, it's okay.

It's being used in all of our main data centers. It's being used in our key offices. We may look to deploy a few more in the UK over the next few years, but there's no real driver for that at the moment. It may be useful to use it for getting more visibility and optimization of traffic in the cloud. So we may end up deploying another four or five Exinda units over the next two or three years. But it won't be in large numbers.

We had to change hardware because we changed our bandwidth, but I'm not sure that scalability is something I would think of when I think of the Exinda product, because you have to change it.

We have two 1-Gb internet pipes that we aggregate and then send through the Exinda. We normally service just over 3,000 people on campus, so we're pretty small. Right now, we are well below that with COVID. And normally, we see our traffic pretty close to utilized, but we're not even utilizing half our bandwidth at this point due to COVID.

They have different models in the range that we could upgrade to. 

Quite a lot of people at my company use Exinda for monitoring and to add in policies for customers.

It's currently being used in three locations.

It's very scalable. Half of it can be a hardware appliance and the other half can be virtual. It can work with smaller channels like 100 megabits or five megabits. But it's not really an enterprise solution. This software is better for SMBs but it really depends. We have larger than midsized companies. It depends on their needs. But it is primarily small and medium-sized businesses.

I didn't need to scale so I cant answer this.
