The iTivity remote access architecture provides fault tolerance against network outages as well as server system failures. You can setup multiple points of presence (POP) with geographically dispersed iServer clusters to achieve extremely high availability in the face of both natural disasters and system failure. iTivity iAgents automatically failover to the an available iServer when a connection is lost.

Full Redundancy

In order to provide both network and system redundancy, Tridia recommends that you implement at least two iServers with separate Internet connections. For best results, these iServers should be geographically dispersed to lower the chance of a single disaster impacting all available iServers. Many iTivity customers have a primary iServer at headquarters and a backup iServer in a branch office on the opposite coast. Another option is to place either the primary or backup iServer on VPS in the cloud.

Continuous Access

Both the iTivity iManager and iAgents are capable of connecting to multiple iServers. You can access iAgent systems via any available iServer. As you deploy the iTivity components, you can configure custom installers to automatically take advantage of your redundant iServers.

Low Cost

The iTivity iServer uses relatively few resources and can often be hosted on existing server hardware and/or hosted in a guest VM on existing hardware. So the hardware cost of implementing your fault tolerant remote access solution in iTivity may be less than expected.

Scalability

iTivity can also provide enterprise scalability through the use of iServer clusters or farms. As your iTivity deployment grows, you can expand the throughput and connection capacity by establishing a server cluster of two or more iServers in each physical location.
