| Do clicks need to go through Pion servers before coming to a site? |
No, however we do recommend installing a dedicated Pion server at your data center (where your website is hosted) if you use multiple web servers. The server can be either our Reactor Core appliance offering or any x86-based hardware (Dell, IBM, HP, etc.). The traffic does not pass through our server but rather it passively monitors the traffic going to and from the website using a technique known as packet sniffing. As such, Pion is physically incapable of slowing down or impacting your traffic in any way. |

| What (mobile) analytics does Pion provide? |
Pion doesn't provide any analytics or reporting, just data capture, processing, integration and storage. For example, you can use Pion to capture data for Google Analytics (as an alternative to their page tags or server-side scripting). Or, you can use Pion to create custom data warehouses for real-time dashboards and business intelligence. |

| What is a Pion "Reactor?" |
A Pion Reactor performs a defined task, and there are many specialized Reactors. Each reactor performs a specific task, and each reactor is specialized for a particular task. A Reactor can be thought of as atomic in the sense in that it is the smallest unit of work. Reactors are the basic building blocks which are chained together to accomplish tasks.
