Or worse yet, sometimes I get questions about regaining normal operations after a traffic increase caused performance destabilization. But we can discuss common bottlenecks, how to assess them, and have a better understanding as to why proactive monitoring is so important when it comes to responding to traffic growth.

Today’s paper choice is a wonderful example of pushing the state of the art on a single server. When used in prevention mode (IPS), this all has to happen inline over incoming traffic to block any traffic with suspicious signatures. This makes the whole system latency sensitive.

Vertical scaling is also often discussed, which involves increasing the resources of a single server, which can have limitations in hardware capabilities and become costly as demands grow.
