Install a load balancer

You can use any appropriate load balancer. Please follow the procedures described in the load balancer's documentation when installing or configuring it.

You can cluster at the request or session level.

Request level means that each request may go to a different node- this is the ideal way to load balance since the traffic from each user would be balanced across all nodes. If a node goes down, it is transparent to the user. This approach is available for the AnalystConnect and AnalystLocate nodes, since these nodes can implementsession sharing between all of the configured nodes.

Note: It is recommended to configure sticky sessions for Connect & Locate nodes.
