Configure Your Network

Since GridServer is a distributed computing application, successful deployment depends on your network configuration. Treat GridServer Managers the same way you treat your other mission-critical file and application servers: assign GridServer Managers static IP addresses and resolvable DNS hostnames. You can configure GridServer Engines and Drivers in several different ways. To receive the full benefit of peer-to-peer communication you must enable communication between Engines and Drivers (the default), but you can also configure GridServer to work with a hub-and-spoke architecture by disabling Direct Data Transfer.
