Abstract
An appliance is co-located on a network with computing devices. Log messages generated by the computing devices are collected by the appliance, filtered based on the content and stored in transmission priority queues based on the content. The appliance packetizes the log messages based on the transmission priority queue and the available bandwidth and compresses the packet. The appliance encrypts the packet, digitally signs the encrypted packet and sends the packet to a first data center over a public network. The first data center stores the packet in reliable storage and performs processing on the data. A copy of the packet is sent to a second data center that stores the copy and performs processing on the copied data. The appliance deletes the packet from its buffer after it has received acknowledgement that the second data center has received the packet.
