Managing resources of the organization
For management purposes, the resources of your organization are logically grouped into so-called data centers. Data centers are combined into more abstract logical groups called domains. You can move data centers between domains.
Kaspersky SD-WAN uses the terms data center and domain in an unconventional way. The term 'data center' refers to a group of resources instead of a place where computer systems, servers, and equipment are located and maintained. The term 'domain' refers to a group of data centers instead of a group of computers, servers, or resources on the Internet.
The following resources are placed in data centers:
- SD-WAN and SDN Controllers.
- Virtual infrastructure managers (VIM).
- Zabbix proxy servers.
- Virtual Network Function Managers (VNFM).
- CPE device and virtual network function management subnets.
In each data center, you must create at least one management subnet to assign IP addresses to CPE devices and virtual network functions (VNFs). You can also specify DNS servers and static routes for virtual network functions.
The figure below shows four logical groups of an organization's resources (Site 1, Site 2, Site 3, and Site 4) combined into two general groups (Domain 1 and Domain 2).
