What do we need to know about deploying to our multiple regional sites in US, APAC and EU?
There are two options:
1. Use one central database, which may be mirrored or clustered if required.
▪ Product settings will be set centrally and apply to all sites.
▪ Specified admins will be able to manage users from all sites
▪ Helpdesk personnel can be restricted to only manage users from their own domain.
▪ Database latency may be greater, but this is unlikely to significantly affect user experience as Bastion has a built-in caching mechanism.
▪ Users migrated from one site to another won’t need to be re-registered.
2. Use a separate database for each site, which can be configured for internal site high availability.
▪ Sites can be configured differently
▪ Less database latency
Regardless of which option you choose, it’s recommended to have at least one Bastion reverse proxy as well as an Admin Portal management website on each site.
