Master-Slave Deployment for a

High Web Access Load
In a master-slave deployment with a high Web Access load, the setup consists of a master server, a
slave server, and a slave server dedicated to Web Access. In this setup, the iFolder server and the
database are typically located on the master and slave servers, and the client workstations are
connected to the iFolder server. This setup also uses a dedicated iFolder Web Access server to serve
and prioritize a high number of iFolder Web Access client requests. This scenario is illustrated in the
following figure:

This setup is useful in organizations where employees tend to access confidential documents by
using cell phones or mobile devices. This deployment helps you securely share confidential
information such as organization documents, presentations, Flash videos, sales and marketing data,
and spreadsheets. A dedicated setup is required if there are thousands of mobile users.
