Group nodes in logical groups to speed up queries.

Data centers are logic separations of nodes that can be thought of as physical locations. The Trellix ESM cluster makes sure that a full copy of data resides in each data center. Every data center in an ESM cluster environment must contain the same number of nodes. This can greatly enhance the response of queries if analysts are running queries from both data centers because copies of the data reside in both locations.

  1. Create a data center.

    1. Click System Properties → Clustering and select the Data Center tab.

    2. Click Create New.

    3. Type a name and description for the data center and click OK.

  2. Manage data centers.

    1. Add nodes to the data center (Clustering → Nodes tab → Settings).

    2. To delete a data center, remove all nodes from it, select it, and click Delete Selected.
