You can cluster your Virtual Intelligent Sandbox Appliance (nodes) so that the analysis load is efficiently balanced.

Cluster Requirement

To create clusters of one or more Virtual Intelligent Sandbox Appliance, make sure your environment meets the requirements.

  • Use the Virtual Intelligent Sandbox Appliance eth-0 interfaces, or management ports.

  • For optimal performance, all the node eth-0 interfaces must be in the same layer-2 network of the OSI reference model.

    Note

    • When you set up a Virtual Intelligent Sandbox cluster, the Primary and Backup nodes must reside on same EXSi server. The Secondary nodes can be on same or a different ESXi server.

    • Intelligent Sandbox Appliance requires the default gateway to be configured in the same subnet as the management port.

  • All nodes must have the same:

    • Virtual Intelligent Sandbox software version

    • Analyzer VMs

    • Anti-Malware Engine DAT and engine versions

    • Gateway Anti-Malware Engine DAT and engine versions
