CacheRaQ Enterprise Cluster With L4 Switch
Installation Notes
• Configure the CacheRaQs for Transparent mode
using one interface.
• CacheRaQs can be connected either directly to the L4
switch or via a hub.
• No Cluster Master is necessary (the L4 switch
replaces the Cluster Master).
• Refer to the switch’s manual for instructions on
configuring the cache redirection.
Advantages
• This solution allows for high-speed clustering.
• It’s fully scalable — you can add CacheRaQs as
needed. L4 switches typically place few limits on the
maximum number of cache servers.
• It provides increased cache storage space.
• No Cluster Master is necessary.
Disadvantage
• The cost of the L4 switch.
