MSSP Questions (Backend Stuff)

["Joshua Berry" <jberry () PENSON COM>]

Has anyone on this list ever worked for an MSSP?  Do MSSP's monitoring
events for large companies utilize proprietary database systems, or are
they using PostgreSQL/MySQL/MS SQL/Oracle?

Are the database systems clustered with something like Beowulf (Parallel
Processing) or just more like a round-robin technique, with one master
database replicating to other slaves?

What is the typical storage size allocated to each customer?
What is the typical retention rate for customer data?

What's more, you deserve to be hacked.
