Figure 3-2. Multiple FTK 1.8 Client and Server Schematic
In the event of a server failure, the user would lose access to the corresponding
server session of FTK 1.8. In this case, the user would need to continue to
function using the other FTK servers. All case and evidence information
(assuming the user has NAS access privileges) is available from all server
sessions of FTK 1.8 through the shared NAS/SAN.
Each FTK 1.8 server can support x user sessions, where x = (number of cores x
2). Each user session requires 3 GB of server RAM and 1000 I/O per second of
datacenter disk performance.
Datacenter-enabled FTK 3
In the datacenter-enabled FTK 3 solution, the application is hosted on a Dell
server device(s) in the datacenter, providing a single FTK 3 application session
per server.
