Portal Server 6 2005Q1 • Deployment Planning Guide

Figure 5-8

shows configuration allowing authentication throughput coming

from Portal Server to be load-balanced across the two Access Managers.

This configuration could be implemented when the Portal Server resides on a
high-end medium to large server (that is 1 to 4 processors) with a very wide
bandwidth network connection. The Access Managers with the policy and
authentication services could be on two medium-size servers.
