Figure 1-2 Single Site Deployment with Several Multi Services Platforms
Multiple Site Deployment with Centralized VSM Management
In a multiple site deployment, Multi Services Platforms at separate locations
connect through a wide area network (WAN). Each location can have one or more
Multi Services Platforms and client systems can access VSM if they can connect
to the network. These deployments can be designed for centralized or distributed
management of VSM and requires WAN link connection speeds that can support
the bandwidth that you require.
In a centralized VSM management deployment, VSOM runs on one Multi Service
Platform, either by itself or with other VSM software. The other Multi Service
Platforms can run VSMS and VSVM in any combination. A deployment of this
type might be appropriate for an enterprise with distributed locations that wants
to manage and operate VSM software from a central location.
Figure 1-3 illustrates an example of a basic multiple site deployment with
centralized VSM management.
