High Availability and failure planning


For implementing load balancers in the View Environment, there are many factors you need to consider before selecting a topology:

  • Do we have external clients?

  • Do we have internal clients?

  • Are we going to do SSL offload?

  • Is HTML Access enabled?

  • What is our recovery time?

  • How will we perform network maintenance?

  • Do we need to use a secure gateway/tunnel for PCoIP traffic?

  • What is our budget? Which solution can we implement with the hardware we have?

  • How many clients do we need to support?

Let's examine the result of outages with various load balancing solutions and configurations. We will examine the topology diagrams for each scenario and how clients will be affected by each outage that may occur.

Let's examine the server setup and the consequences of high availability and failures. We will examine each probable event that can happen to a cluster and review the consequences of each event.
