New Terminology
The architecture design changes introduces new terminologies. It is critical to understand these new terms.
New LDT Communication Group Terms
-
Triad nodes
The triad nodes are the first three servers in the LDT Communication Group.
-
Subordinate nodes
The subordinate nodes are the remaining nodes in the LDT Communication Group.
GuardPoint Terms
-
Primary node
The node that performs LDT rekeying of data.
-
Secondary node
All of the other clients in the LDT GuardPoint Group are assigned as secondary nodes.
They do not participate in rekeying data. Secondary nodes can be promoted to primary nodes if a primary node fails.
-
LDT GuardPoint Group
An LDT GuardPoint Group contains a collection of LDT-enabled CTE clients that are all on the same network, managed by one CipherTrust Manager, guarding a common NFS/CIFS share and can communicate with each other over that network. An LDT GuardPoint Group enables the primary host of an LDT GuardPoint Group to communicate with the secondary hosts that are members of that LDT GuardPoint Group.
