Supported ACS configurations and software

Note:

This documentation uses the terms ACS and Storage Foundation HA for Windows (SFW HA) throughout. However, in version 7.0 of the cluster software, these terms became Arctera InfoScale Availability and Arctera InfoScale Enterprise respectively.

Both active/passive and N+1 configurations are supported, but active/active configurations are not.

In an active/passive configuration, a dedicated spare server is available for each Enterprise Vault server, ready and waiting for the primary server to go down. In an N+1 configuration, there is a computer for each Enterprise Vault server and then one or more spare servers waiting for any of the active servers to fail over.

The following software must be installed:

  • A supported version of ACS

  • Enterprise Vault

  • A supported version of Windows Server

For supported versions of software, see the Enterprise Vault Compatibility Charts.

Neither Surveillance nor eDiscovery must be installed on any server in the planned cluster. These products are not supported within a cluster. However, an unclustered Surveillance or eDiscovery can reference a clustered Enterprise Vault virtual server.
