The correct answer is B. Six, two in each datacenter. To achieve global high availability with GSLB and local high availability for StoreFront access through a single worldwide URL, a minimum of two StoreFront servers per datacenter is required across at least three geographically dispersed datacenters.

Question

Scenario: An architect is designing a NetScaler solution that implements GSLB. The solution must provide StoreFront access through a single URL worldwide and maintain a highly available configuration globally as well as locally. How many StoreFront servers are recommended to implement this configuration?

Options

  • ASix, one site for each store
  • BSix, two in each datacenter
  • CThree, one in each datacenter
  • DFour, two in the primary and two in the backup datacenter

Why each option

To achieve global high availability with GSLB and local high availability for StoreFront access through a single worldwide URL, a minimum of two StoreFront servers per datacenter is required across at least three geographically dispersed datacenters.

ASix, one site for each store

Six, one site for each store' is not a standard recommendation for StoreFront high availability, which typically involves server groups for redundancy within a site/datacenter, not single servers per store site.

BSix, two in each datacenterCorrect

Implementing two StoreFront servers in each of at least three datacenters (totaling six servers) ensures both local high availability within each datacenter through a server group and global high availability via GSLB across multiple geographic locations, meeting the worldwide access and high availability requirements. This configuration allows for redundancy and load balancing at both local and global levels for the StoreFront service.

CThree, one in each datacenter

'Three, one in each datacenter' only provides one StoreFront server per datacenter, which fails to meet the local high availability requirement for StoreFront.

DFour, two in the primary and two in the backup datacenter

'Four, two in the primary and two in the backup datacenter' only covers two datacenters, which might not be sufficient for a 'worldwide' solution implied by GSLB and may not provide the desired geographic diversity across more regions.
