RDS 2008 R2 and F5 Load Balancing
Hi all
I am planning the following RDS 2008 R2 Solution
2,500 concurrent users
RDS Gateway as clients are on different secure network to servers, firewalled and NAT
RDS BRokers for connection management (2 of ideally to avoiod single point of failure)
Dedicated Recdirectors to take connection load of main session hosts servers
Web Servers for Remote App capability
I need this all load balanced and my hosting team have suggest F5 LTMs.
I have read the usual RDS guide from F5 http://www.f5.com/pdf/deployment-gu...ces-dg.pdf
It talks about a few scenarios that I would like to use but does not tell you whether you can use multiple scenarios, even if they need to be on seperate virtual F5s.
I want the two RD Gateways load balanced which seems ok as per Scenario 2.
I also want the web servers load balanced as per Scenario 3, seperate Virtual F5.
But Scenario 1 talks about load balancing the RDS Broker/Session Host servers. Can this be done as well as the other Scenarios? Does this work for multiple RDS Brokers without the need for MS Clustering?
Anyone done any F5 with large RDS farms before?
many thanks
