Working with Clusters
ABBYY FlexiCapture 10 supports clusters.
There are two important benefits of using clusters:
• Fault tolerance: in case of failure of one of the servers, the request will be executed by another server.
• Distributed workloads: query processing is distributed among cluster nodes. This improves performance and increases
fault tolerance.
The following ABBYY FlexiCapture 10 components can be installed on clusters:
• Processing Server
• Licensing Server
• Application Server
ABBYY FlexiCapture can work with Microsoft SQL Server installed on failover cluster.
The Processing Server and the Licensing Server are installed on failover clusters.
The Application Server, the Administration and Monitoring Console, and the Web Stations, which use IIS (Internet Information
Services), are installed on NLB (Network Load Balancing) clusters.
Note. Failover and Network Load Balancing clusters cannot work on the same computer.
The following figure displays the clusterization of ABBYY FlexiCapture Servers and Microsoft SQL Server:
The deployment of the Processing Server and the Licensing Server on clusters is described below in this guide.
Setting Up the Processing Server
Failover clusters are used for clustering the Processing Server.
A detailed guide to failover clustering can be found on the Microsoft website
.
Deploying the Processing Server on a Failover Cluster
In this section, you will find step-by-step instructions for setting up the server on a failover cluster.
Note. The addresses, computer names, domain names, etc. used below are not mandatory and may be changed by the administra-
tor.
Note. The following server configuration is intended only for local use in a local area network.
