Provisioning guidelines
When provisioning subdomains and pooled entities, you must follow certain
guidelines. The guidelines may or may not be enforced by the provisioning
framework but are recommended to maintain predicable service behavior.
These guidelines are as follows:
•
Top-level domains span the entire enterprise or user community and
are location independent.
•
Subdomains can be created, based upon geographical locations. This
allows servers to be associated with the subdomains to make network
traffic predictable. Pooled entities can be assigned to a subdomain to
minimize long distance backhaul.
Whenever possible, limit pooled entities that span large geographic sites
over the WAN. Though not prohibited by the provisioning framework, such
configuration can negatively affect session quality and increase the costs of
communication.
