Application Access to DX Object Storage

Platform

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.

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.
