Why should I install two connection servers?

[schoppen73]

Hi,

I have to install a very small View environment (about 10-20 Users).

Now I have installed one View Connection Server and connected it with one View Security Server (in DMZ) for remote access and everything works fine - connections from our LAN and out of the internet are possible per one single URL (Pin-Point-DNS).

So why should I install one Connection Server for local and one Connection Server in combination with a Security Server for remote access?

Ok, if we want to activate Two-Factor-Authentication then we have to do so, but apart from that?

Thanks for your help!

High Availability!

There are really only three main reasons for multiple connection server:

1. For high availability - so that the environment is accessible if a single server goes down

2. For scale - a single connection server today supports up to 2000 connections through it at a time

3. For different settings - you may not want the tunnel and PSG enabled on your internal connection servers so that traffic goes directly between client and desktops, but obviously would need these on for WAN access

If none of the above three apply then you don't need to do it.
