Hi all,
is there any way to set up FusionHub pairs in HA redundancy mode? Or is the only way to get redundancy on SpeedFusion endpoint to establish a pair of Balance routers in HA?
FusionHub doesn’t support HA.
So you are left with either using the hypervisor HA tools (eg vMotion), or you can spin up two FusionHubs and have the remote peers connect to both and prioritise one over the other for a primary → secondary fail over action.
Would another approach be to have Balance hardware setup in HA and terminating the SpeedFusion on this?
Yes it would. However personally I’m not a big fan of hardware appliance HA in this manner - at least not for datacenters. VRRP failover feels so clunky compared to reacting and managing datacenter appliance outage from the perspective of the remote peers.
Active / Active instead of active / passive is always faster to respond to issues and gives you more control over traffic flows in an emergency.
