Clustering

Clusters define a collection of servers that operate as if they were a single machine. A cluster pair is used to refer to a cluster of two units and a multiunit cluster refers to a cluster of more than two units. Once two or more units are joined in a cluster, they act as one unit.

The following figure shows two ISA series devices deployed as a cluster pair:

Access management framework supports two types of clusters:

Load balancing clusters or active/active clusters

Failover clusters or active/passive clusters

Ivanti recommends using standalone nodes or clusters of a maximum of two nodes behind a load balancer.

Ivanti Security Appliance (ISA)/ISA-V does not support clusters containing more than two nodes for ICS.

For details about the configuration, various deployment scenarios, reports, etc. refer to the Clustering Configuration Guide available at https://www.ivanti.com/support/product-documentation.
