How does distributed data collection work when collecting data from multiple sensors?

What will be an ideal response?

In distributed data collection, data from security devices such as firewalls and IDPSs goes to a management console on its own local network. Security managers in each network review the data separately and then analyze and respond to events as needed. Distributed data collection requires the organization to maintain separate security managers in each branch office as well as separate management console software. This arrangement saves bandwidth, but offices must still communicate with one another about security incidents.
