Clustered Servers

Server clustering provides a platform for scalability and high availability in which multiple AgilePoint Servers can be setup to distribute load and/or eliminate a single point of failure. Server Clustering ensures high availability and data integrity by providing failover functionality across two connected server machines. Server clustering for AgilePoint can be done either in a single AgilePoint Server deployment, or in a NLB with AgilePoint CSM deployment to ensure application availability.

• For single AgilePoint Server deployment scenarios, if the active AgilePoint Server machine fails, the cluster service enables failover to a redundant AgilePoint Server machine.
• For a NLB cluster AgilePoint Server deployment (where the AgilePoint CSM is required as part of the deployment), the cluster service maintains the availability of the AgilePoint CSM application. Keep in mind if the AgilePoint CSM machine fails, all AgilePoint Servers will also fail, therefore it is recommended to ensure the AgilePoint CSM is highly available by clustering this system with a cluster service.
