Out-of-Path, Static Cluster Deployment
An out-of-path, static cluster deployment is appropriate when an in-path deployment
is not an option. This deployment handles failures and scales to very high traffic levels.
The following figure illustrates a deployment where two HP EFS WAN Accelerators
are configured as out-of-path devices on the server-side of the network and there are
static clusters with in-path HP EFS WAN Accelerators on the client-side of the
network.
