VMX-Capture is the layer responsible for data capture and decoding.
Note: For the full Beeks Analytics architecture showing all components, see section Appendix A: Beeks Analytics full architecture diagram.
VMX-Capture is a set of software components that are specifically designed for high-performance packet capture, decoding, high-volume real-time analysis. It can produce a message output, statistical calculations based on the data, or an output of market data anomalies.
VMX-Capture is most commonly deployed on a Beeks Analytics appliance. However, it can also be installed on the client’s own hardware or on a cloud compute instance.
The simplest task that you can perform with Beeks Analytics is to use it as a packet capture appliance - that is, writing packets to disk and making them available for search and retrieval. This ability to capture high volumes of packets without dropping data acts as the building block on which higher-level services are built.
More detailed information about VMX-Capture configuration can be found in the Configuration Guide for VMX-Capture.
