Application Access to DX Object Storage Platform Communicating With a Local Cluster Applications can communicate with a DX Storage Node at any time. The DX Object Storage software automatically redirects applications to the proper node even if the addressed node is an incorrect node to handle a request. If both Cluster Services Node and cluster nodes are not responding, you can communicate with the remote cluster by addressing the remote Cluster Storage Nodes or remote Cluster Services Node directly. For many configurations, it is recommended to create a single name through DNS which maps to the DX Storage Nodes. A single name allows communication with the DX Storage Nodes using one domain name. DNS automatically rotates addressing through the storage nodes. For more information, see the DX Object Storage Application Guide at support.dell.com/manuals. Communicating With a Remote Cluster Applications may communicate with a remote DX Storage Cluster during local-cluster disaster recovery. For an application to communicate to a remote DX Storage Cluster, the DX Cluster Services Node on the remote public network must be addressed. A proxy server on the DX Cluster Services Node (on the local cluster) accepts HTTP requests from the application and forwards them to a DX Storage Node in the DX Storage Cluster. The DX Storage Node redirects the requests if necessary, and returns the response back to the requester. DX Object Storage Platform Overview 19
