Managing for highly available implementations

Establishing a highly available network involves identifying critical components, creating redundancy for these components, and ensuring automatic failover to the secondary component if the active component fails. Critical components include:

Database
Provisioning servers
vDisks and storage

Citrix Provisioning provides several options to consider when configuring for a highly available implementation, including:

Database
- Offline database support, which allows Citrix Provisioning servers to use a snapshot of the database if the connection to the database is lost.
- Database mirroring.
Citrix Provisioning servers
- Provisioning server failover. If a server becomes unavailable, another server within the site can provide active target devices with the virtual disk.
- Managing servers. You can load balance between provisioning servers to prevent overload and to allow server capacity to be used more effectively and efficiently.
vDisks and Storage
- Configuring highly available shared storage
