- Progress Connection Manager for ObjectScale
- Documentation
Most ObjectScale deployments include multiple geographic locations providing the required site resilience for the object storage solution. Connection Manager's Global Server Load Balancing (GSLB) feature distributes traffic across these multiple locations with the use of intelligent DNS. The implementation of GSLB will be different dependent on whether the applications accessing the storage leverage Path Style or Virtual Hosted addressing methods. This is due to behavior of Virtual Hosted which now includes the S3 bucket names within the HTTP Host Header requiring DNS to support this dynamic addressing method. Connection Manager takes this requirement and extends it to support Dynamic Global Host Resolution within GSLB to provide the flexible multi-site distribution and availability for ObjectScale deployments leveraging both Path Style and Virtual Hosted addressing.
