A.0 Sentinel Rapid Deployment Architecture

Sentinel Rapid Deployment is a simplified version and an alternate platform for Novell Sentinel that provides security information and an event management (SIEM) solution that automates the collection, analysis, and reporting of system network, application, and security logs to help organizations manage IT risks.

Sentinel Rapid Deployment provides full Sentinel functionality in a single-box SUSE Linux package. It features an easy-to-install SIEM solution that uses open source components such as PostgreSQL, ActiveMQ, and JasperReports for the database, messaging, and reporting.
