Configuring Insight Surveillance for use in a Network Load Balancing cluster
Network Load Balancing (NLB) is a clustering technology that Microsoft offers as part of Windows Server 2012 or later.
NLB balances the network traffic across all the nodes in a cluster, which work together to run a common set of applications and provide the image of a single system to client users. NLB helps to enhance the scalability and performance of Insight Surveillance by distributing client requests across the nodes in the cluster; background Insight Surveillance tasks are unaffected. It also provides high availability by detecting node failures and automatically redistributing traffic to operational nodes.
The process of setting up an NLB cluster requires you to specify a virtual name or IP address for the cluster. When they start the application, your users must specify this virtual name or address as the server to which they want to connect.
To configure Insight Surveillance for use in an NLB cluster
- Ensure that each node that you want to include in the NLB cluster has a fixed IP address.
If you do not have these fixed addresses, you can obtain them from your network administrator.
- Use the Network Load Balancing Manager that comes with Windows to set up and manage the cluster.
Consult the documentation that accompanies Network Load Balancing Manager for guidelines on how to do this.
- Install the Insight Surveillance server software on each node in the cluster.
As a minimum, you must install the Enterprise Vault eDiscovery Manager service on each node.
