IBM Endpoint Manager Disaster Server Architecture

Overview

The Disaster Server Architecture in IEM is intended to allow the Environment to remain functional if the Main Server should ever crash, or become overloaded.

This is accomplished by standing up a 'Secondary' server that replicates the database with the Main Server on a scheduled basis. Since the Replication is bi-directional, IEM Relays can be configured to use the Secondary server. This will result in Client Reports taking a little longer to report to the Console, but this is due to the database Replication rather than client or server performance. The Console should only be pointed to the Primary server, so replication must occur before client reports sent to the Secondary server will be visible.
