Medium business deployment

The medium business model is suitable for small organizations with relatively few hosts to protect, all of which may be located within a single data center.

This configuration example comprises multiple UNIX/Linux hosts located within the SME space and one or more web servers located in a DMZ.

Multiple policy server components (pmmasterd) are installed in a failover configuration, with groups of plugin hosts balanced between the policy servers. If a policy server is unavailable for any reason, the plugin hosts will failover to the alternative policy server.

Large business deployment

This is an example of how a large business might deploy Safeguard. Some global companies prefer to fragment their requirement and deploy multiple instances as shown in the medium-sized business model.

This example comprises three policy servers, two are balancing the load of multiple plugin hosts. This may be necessary if there is a high level of audit and/or a significant volume of requested elevated privilege. Further, there is an additional policy server configured as a failover should one or both policy servers become unavailable.
