Clustering Topology Overview

The three most common topologies that require Exinda clustering are:

• The environment has a redundant topology for the purposes of failover, where one link is active and the other is passive. The Exinda appliance on the passive link needs to be clustered with the active Exinda appliance so that it has all the data and configuration when the active link fails.
• The environment has duel paths where there are multiple links into one or more ISPs and where they might have traffic leave via one ISP and return via another. The Exinda appliances need to be clustered so that ...
• The environment is load balanced, where traffic is distributed amongst several servers. The Exinda appliance is installed in front of each load balanced server. The Exinda appliances need to be clustered so that they all have the same configuration and the traffic can be reported on in an aggregated fashion.
