Requirements
Network Interface Configuration
Minimum of one Network Interface Card (NIC) is required, with two recommended—one dedicated for administration purposes and another for production services. This configuration ensures optimized performance and security for the KVM Load Balancer.
KVM Hypervisor Selection
Any version of KVM is supported as guest system for KVM Load Balancing.
Resource Allocation
Adequate allocation of CPU and memory resources to support the intended traffic and application demands, ensuring the KVM Load Balancer operates effectively under various load conditions.
Security Groups and Network ACLs
Configure appropriate security groups and network access control lists (ACLs) to restrict access and enhance security for the KVM Load Balancer.
Licensing
The software included in the RSA Enterprise Edition is provided under the terms of the GNU Affero General Public License v3.
The licensing model for RSA products is tied to the number of instances deployed. Therefore, the number of appliance licenses required corresponds directly to the number of deployments, regardless of resource allocation such as CPU, memory, or throughput per instance.
If only a single node is necessary, you will need to purchase one appliance license. However, if a clustered load balancing service is required, you will need two appliance licenses.
Each appliance can be updated and upgrade to a major release with incremental software releases provided through a valid Support Plan with a simple update procedure.
Additionally, redeployment during the appliance’s lifecycle is permitted as long as the hostname remains unchanged. If you need to change the hostname of the appliance without a related redeployment, an appliance certificate can be reissued.
FAQs
How Does the Evaluation Work?
The evaluation of this product is free and allows you to deploy, create, and utilize the full version for one month by default. If you need an extension beyond this period, you can request it to our Sales Team. During the evaluation phase, free pre-sales support is available. Once you’ve decided to make a purchase, you simply need to obtain a definitive activation certificate without redeploying the appliance.
How to Upgrade from Community to Enterprise Edition?
Seamless upgrade from Community to Enterprise Edition is fully supported without redeploying the appliances and required migration of configuration files are automatically performed. Contact with our Team for more information.
How Many Licenses Are Needed to Build a Cluster?
To build a cluster and achieve high availability (HA), you will need to acquire two licenses with the same Support Level.
The RELIANOID cluster operates as a stateful cluster, meaning that if the primary node goes down, the second node automatically takes over without any disruption to clients. This functionality is possible because the second node continuously synchronizes configurations, automatic processes, connections, and user sessions, ensuring both nodes remain online at all times. This setup allows for a quick switch between nodes.
Is Support Included with the Appliance?
Support services are not included with the appliance and must be purchased separately to receive updates, security advisories, patches, hotfixes, and assistance from our specialized Support Team. We offer three different support plans tailored to various application requirements, ranging from updates-only options to 24×7 support services. First year of support will be mandatory.
Are Disaster Recovery and Development licenses available?
Yes, we offer special licenses for Disaster Recovery and Development purposes. Please reach out to our Sales Team for more information.
