Cluster

The Cluster tab displays the existing cluster members, their data center, status, health, and speed. Management tools for the cluster are also housed here. Clustering two or more Smartcrypt Enterprise Managers (SEM) can assist in centralized management and fault tolerance. Clustered systems can be geographically dispersed and do not need to be located on the same network.

Note: Clusters and Data Centers only exist in an SEM Appliance environment.

Note: Clustering systems does not provide network load-balancing functionality. If you want to load-balance traffic among appliances, you can use a third-party load balancer that supports persistent sessions or use DNS round-robin. Systems can be added to data centers to ensure that Users in a specific Active Directory OU are always redirected to the same appliance or group of appliances.
