Why we chose InfluxDB?
In the right place at the right time

20. 20
1. Aggregate QoS traffic
from regions
2. WOCU queries InfluxDB
API to gather data and
creates Reports
3. Client uses these reports
to meet SLAs and apply
fees (if not accomplished)
Using WOCU (& InfluxDB) to save money
1. Aggregate QoS traffic
from regions, territory,
QoS, supplier...

21. 21
Using WOCU (& InfluxDB) to get rid of hackers
1. List of all devices and their
consumption of network
traffic in a period of time
2. Detail of consumption for
_ a host/interface
3. Devices that excess
_ consumption it could be a
_ symptom of "hacking" the _
device and steal the signal

22. 22
Benefits of using Influxdb
• Efficiency
• Reliability
• Performance
• Design

23. 23
Here we see the flexibility of influx as TSDB for any use case:
Wrapping up
Traffic
consumption
Jitter/RTT/Packet Loss
