IPFIX Based Licensing Model

On-Premises Analytics licensing levels are based on how much data from firewalls is logged. So, specific licenses support collection of firewall data in increments of 2, 5, 15, 30, and 100 GB per day. If an On-Premises Analytics instance exceeds its daily limit in a 24 hour period, the excessive logs will simply be dropped and data will again be logged starting with the next day.

To choose when the day starts, regardless of the deployment location, refer to ESXi documentation. This requires advanced competence with ESXi.

The following table summarizes currently available licensing levels.

Storage (based on licenses) Flows per second or day Storage Limit
2 GB/ day 300 flows/sec and 20 million flows/day 500 GB
5 GB/ day 750 flows/sec and 50 million flows/day 1 TB
15 GB/ day 2250 flows/sec and 150 million flows/day 5 TB
30 GB/ day 4500 flows/sec and 300 million flows/day 10 TB
100 GB/ day 15000 flows/sec and 1 billion flows/day Unlimited
