System architecture

ThinLinc's system architecture is adapted to allow existing infrastructure to be used alongside our product. ThinLinc uses the normal system authentication, allowing integration with eDirectory, Active Directory, NIS, etc. Clustering works great and provide both load balancing and high availability clustering at the same time.



High Availability and load balancing

The basic principle of High Availability is to have two equal machines, both capable of running VSM server. If one of the machines goes down for some reason, the other machine will take over and serve VSM server requests with no or short interruption of service.

Load balancing distributes users' sessions evenly between servers in a ThinLinc cluster. Servers will be equally loaded, as much as possible.
