# Deployment scenarios

Thanks to its flexible deployment modes, you can quickly insert an Axoflow and its processing node (called [AxoRouter](https://axoflow.com/docs/axoflow/0.86/architecture/index.md#router)) transparently into your data pipeline and gain instant benefits:

- [Data reduction](https://axoflow.com/docs/axoflow/0.86/concepts/classify-reduce-security-data/index.md)
- Improved [SIEM](https://axoflow.com/docs/axoflow/0.86/destinations/index.md) accuracy
- Configuration UI for routing data
- Automatic data [classification](https://axoflow.com/docs/axoflow/0.86/concepts/classify-reduce-security-data/index.md)
- Metrics about log ingestion, processing, and data drops
- Analytics about the transported data
- Health check, highlighting anomalies

> **Note:**
> Note that AxoRouter and Axoflow agent collects detailed, real-time metrics about the data-flows – giving you observability over the health of the security data pipeline and its components. Your security data remains in your self-managed cloud or in your on-prem instance where your sources, destinations, Axoflow agents, and AxoRouters are running, only metrics are forwarded to AxoConsole.

After the first step, you can further integrate your pipeline, by deploying [Axoflow agents](https://axoflow.com/docs/axoflow/0.86/architecture/index.md#axoedge) to collect and manage your security data, or onboarding your existing log collector agents (for example, syslog-ng). Let’s see what these scenarios look like in detail.

[AxoRouter high availability](https://axoflow.com/docs/axoflow/0.86/deployment-scenarios/axorouter-high-availability/index.md)

Deploy multiple AxoRouter instances in a high availability cluster, either behind a load balancer or sharing a virtual IP managed by keepalived.
