Multiple Data Centers

SiteMinder treats a global deployment the same as multiple data centers in the same continent. As such, factors outside of SiteMinder affect the performance of a multi–data center deployment. The following key factors include:

• Network latency
• Resiliency

We recommend that you consider the following outside factors as you plan for a multi–data center deployment:

• Network infrastructure
• Application locations
• User locations
• User store vendors and their restrictions, such as the number of masters allowed
