DW Spectrum User Manual
DW Spectrum allows many servers to work together, in one or more Sites, for complete scalability.
Servers are identified and merged according to a localSystemId value that is assigned to a Server during initial configuration in the Setup Wizard. If "Setup New Site" is selected in the Setup Wizard, a new localSystemId is generated. If "Add to Existing Site" is selected, the localSystemId is taken from the remote Site.
If servers are in different subnets, it is necessary to specify the other server's IP to allow them to merge in separate networks (behind NAT or over the Internet).
When servers are merged, they constantly synchronize all settings so it doesn't matter which Server the client is connected to. If video from a remote Server is requested, the client tries to connect directly to it and if it fails, the current Server will act as a proxy between the client and the Server with the video data.
Licenses are combined as well: if 4 licenses were activated on Server A and 10 licenses were activated on Server B, the Site will have 14 licenses total after the servers are merged.
Based on lab testing results, the maximum recommended scale for a single Site is approximately 10 servers and 1,000 users. However, this will vary significantly depending on specific environmental factors and the equipment in use.
It is recommended to contact the Presales Team for assistance with large-scale deployments and performance optimizations.
The following topics this section describes how to manage multi-Server environments to maintain maximum Site reliability and performance:
•Moving One Server to a Different Site.
•Configuring Routing in a Multi-Server Environment.
•Configuring Time Synchronization in a Multi-Server Environment.
