Axoflow Locker — the Platform-in-a-Box

A single-VM Axoflow appliance for environments that can’t rely on central infrastructure. Collect, curate, store, and analyze locally - even offline. When you reconnect, federated search and rehydration integrate Axoflow Locker into your wider estate.

Software appliance for log collection and retention
Fast, indexed search
and investigation
Deploy anywhere - cloud, on-prem, air-gapped

Perfect for

  • remote/branch/plant sites
  • highly regulated environments
  • field operations
  • use cases that want no external dependency

And anywhere reliability and simplicity matter most.

What it includes (at a glance)

Pipeline (Collect | Curate)

AxoRouter inside - classify, parse, normalize, reduce, enrich, and route locally.

Storage

On-box retention for smaller volumes; policy-driven aging; rehydration to SIEM/lake when desired.

AI/Analytics

Local exploration and triage (dashboards/queries sized for the edge).

Federated search
(when connected)

Query Axoflow Locker + AxoStore + AxoLake from one place; keep data where it is until you need it.

Security & control

Encryption at rest, RBAC, audit logs.

Common use cases

Disconnected operations

Maintain full visibility and triage during outages or in air-gapped networks.


Edge retention

Keep months of local telemetry for compliance/forensics
without centralizing by default.

Cost-aware investigations

Search locally first; rehydrate only the slices your SIEM needs.


Gradual modernization

deploy Axoflow Locker now, attach to AxoLake/Axoflow Locker clusters later.

How it works

Single-VM deploy

Drop the Axoflow Locker OVA/AMI/VM into your site.

Local pipeline

Sources feed AxoRouter (collect, curate); clean data lands in on-box storage.

Analyze & act

Investigate locally; trigger alerts and workflows sized for the site.

Integrate when ready

On reconnect, federated search spans Axoflow Locker and central stores; rehydrate exact time/label/group slices to Splunk, Elastic, Chronicle, Sentinel, Snowflake, S3, and more.

Deployment Options

Air-Gapped

Operate fully offline; export via controlled channels.

Occasionally connected

Sync catalogs and enable federated search during windows; queue rehydrations.


Fully connected

Treat Axoflow Locker as an edge node in a distributed Axoflow deployment.

Comparisons

Versus a router-only edge

Adds on-box storage + analytics, so you can investigate without central dependencies.

Versus centralizing everything

Search locally first; centralize only what delivers value.

Versus appliances

Software-defined single VM, not a proprietary hardware box.

Integrations

Axoflow Locker currently has hundreds of application adapters for a range of data sources and destinations and we are working on adding new ones every day.

These zero-maintenance connectors enable Axoflow Locker to parse incoming data sources automatically and then transform them to the destination schema. Check out our documentation for the full list.

FAQs

Is Axoflow Locker just storage?
Is Axoflow Locker just storage?

No. Axoflow Locker is the Axoflow Platform in a box: Pipeline | Storage | AI in a single VM.

How much can it store?
How much can it store?

Sized for smaller-volume, site-local retention. We’ll help right-size capacity and retention based on your ingest profile.

Does it work when fully offline?
Does it work when fully offline?

Yes. You can collect, store, and analyze locally. When connectivity returns, enable federated search and rehydration into central systems.

Can I plug Axoflow Locker into AxoLake or central Axoflow Locker clusters later?
Can I plug Axoflow Locker into AxoLake or central Axoflow Locker clusters later?

Absolutely. Axoflow Locker is designed to join a larger deployment without rework.

Is there HA?
Is there HA?

Axoflow Locker is a single-VM appliance optimized for simplicity. If you need site-level HA, we can size additional VMs.

What security controls are built in?
What security controls are built in?

Encryption at rest, RBAC, audit logs. Compliance archive features (e.g., WORM/legal hold) are on the roadmap.
