Dear Community
I am in the process of designing a new SEP solution. I have already gotten some valuable inputs on multi-site design and setup.
In addition to my two sites
DC1 Site SEPM-A
DC1 Site SEPM-B
DC2 Site SEPM-C, connect to SEPM-A for replication
DC2 Site SEPM-D
I also have a third site with about 45 endpoints. I was reading through the SEP12.1 Installation and Administration Guide and came across Group Update Providers (GUP).
Is this (single GUP) something I could consider for this third site (I don't want to create an actual third site here)? Any pros/cons of such a setup?
The plan behind my two site setup is that endpoints will connect in to both, so in the event one of my DCs is down, I can still manage all my clients. I'll get this done using a "Management Server List".
Will this still work if I introduce a GUP for these 45 endpoints?
If my GUP is unavailable, will these 45 endpoints get their updates from the SEPMs in DC1 & DC2?
