Introduction

What is an HP Multi-Site
Traffic Director Server
Appliance SA9200?

The HP Multi-Site Traffic Director Server Appliance SA9200 is a
global site balancer. It gathers your geographically dispersed data
sites into multiple “virtual servers,” which gives you multifaceted,
centralized control over widely distributed resources.

Performance

The SA9200 looks at individual client requests and matches them
up with the best of many geographically dispersed fulfillment
sites using the selection method most appropriate to your specific
needs.

Reliability

The SA9200 supports active-active redundant mode, meaning
that multiple, active SA9200s can be used simultaneously. When
one fails, any remaining SA9200s continue operation.
