The size of your network will determine the number of Sensors you will require to successfully and efficiently protect your network. A large network with many access points, file servers, and machines in use may require a larger level of IPS deployment than a small office with just a single access point and few machines. You must also factor in the redundancy requirements for your network.
Knowing how your business will grow can help determine the amount of equipment you will require and the proper strategy for network placement. Trellix IPS is built with growth in mind. The Trellix IPS can manage multiple Sensors, and Sensors can scale in performance from 100 Mbps to multi gigabits per second (up to 80 Gbps) for monitoring network segments.
