Best practices

  • The following best practices are recommended when configuring FileCloud Enterprise Server with Dell ECS.

    Recommendation

    Details

    Managing traffic flow to ECS

    It is required to use an external IP traffic load balancer with ECS to manage the health and distribute traffic to all ECS nodes in the cluster.

    Multipart part size

    The default part size in amazons3storageconfig.php is 5MB, which should suffice for most organizations and should not be modified unless that value has been proven to improve throughput.

    ECS Geo-Federation

    You can deploy ECS software in multiple data centers to create a geo-federation. In a geo-federation, ECS behaves as a loosely coupled federation of autonomous VDCs. Federating sites involves providing replication and management endpoints for communication between sites. After sites are federated, you can manage them as a single infrastructure from any node in the federation.

    See the Dell ECS High Availability Design document for details and best practices.
