Is Modius Scalable?
Modius is a distributed system that can easily scale to monitor a mix of small and large, distributed critical facilities, whether or not they are all manned 7×24. A prime advantage is that the Modius system does not require a server at every site. Infrastructure devices located at small or unmanned sites can easily be connected via a WAN to report to a server at a larger site. In addition, multiple Modius servers can be linked together in a peer-to-peer architecture to cover very large, geographically dispersed, multi-site critical infrastructures. Modius’ architectural approach achieves cost reduction, performance improvement and size scaling, independent of programming languages, hardware platforms, subject device categories, and manufacturer protocols. This reduces the complexity and costs of accessing and managing device information because it is done as low as possible in the architecture, to ensure ease of and maximize sharing across all systems.
