Employeeactive/active LTM deployment on different subnet
Hi there,
I am thinking about active/active LTM deployment which each LTM is located on different data center and using different subnet. I mean not using GTM at all.
For example ...
Hmm it may not be something to be proud of ;) j/j
If you want to be remembered in good light with your customer, provide the best solution possible. I would recommend leaving that Pair alone. Purchase a new pair for the new DC and explore your options for implementing GTMs into the picture. Ideally, another pair per DC.
This will give your customer a robust highly available environment. It will provide a mechanism for change control, upgrades, etc..
When you try to engineer around a budget, you look like a hero for the short term with your client... The minute something goes wrong all of that goes out the window and now you're a bad guy. If you're having trouble making a case for the new gear, get your local SE involved. They will be more than happy to help out with justification and pricing.
Good Luck!
