Multiple Datacenter Deployment

Starting in release 8.5.1, GWS supports a deployment with multiple (two or more) datacenters. This section describes a this type of deployment.

Overview

A multiple datacenter deployment implies a logical partitioning of all GWS nodes into segregated groups that are using dedicated service resources, such as T-Server, StatServers, and so on.

Topology

The topology of a GWS Cluster can be considered as a standard directory tree where a leaf node is a GWS data center. The following diagram shows a GWS Cluster with 2 geographical regions (US and EU), and 3 GWS datacenters (East and West in the US region, and EU as its own datacenters).
