Clustering

EXPANSION WITH PRESERVATION


The Interceptor™ can guarantee your initial investment through clustering. As new Interceptor hardware platforms are deployed in your network, old Interceptor units can be configured to sync with the new units to provide redundancy and load balancing.



CLUSTERING FOR REDUNDANCY

An old/existing Interceptor can be clustered with a new Interceptor to help maintain a standard EPR (Espion Probabilistic Reasoning) engine and a uniform configuration across all Interceptors in the cluster. While the new Interceptor can be used to handle live mail flow (as the hardware configuration is newer and more powerful), the old Interceptor can be used as a backup for if and when the new Interceptor is unavailable thereby providing highly effective passive redundancy.

CLUSTERING FOR LOAD BALANCING

Multiple Interceptors can be clustered together to help manage heavy email loads at your organization. Each Interceptor will process roughly the same amount of emails. If and when one of the Interceptors becomes unavailable, the other Interceptors in the cluster will take on the extra load with zero delays in email processing.
