Communicating Directly With A Remote Cluster, DX Object Storage Application Guide

Page 13 highlights

For many configurations, it is recommended that you create a single name using 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 dell.com/support/manuals. Communicating Directly 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. 13

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
