Creating Aliases for the AgilePoint Servers

In order to abstract the AgilePoint Server installation to allow load distribution, failover and high availability, aliases should be used instead of the server name or IP address for the physical hardware. Even if the initial topology is a single server deployment, using aliases makes it easy to reconfigure the deployment to support a more robust configuration in the future. All of the configuration references the alias and makes changes to the physical infrastructure transparent to the user, applications and services communicating with the AgilePoint Server.
