The location of a site is an important factor in the performance of a multi-site application. The cloud region recommendation engine in the intelligent traffic management recommends you the best locations to deploy new sites for a multi-site application. These recommendations help you boost the overall performance of your application.

The recommendations provided are based on the user location, traffic (in percentage) expected from each user location, and the cloud service provider. You can use the recommended site location information while adding sites for a multi-site application.

The cloud region recommendation engine provides recommendations for single site, dual site, and triple site scenarios. The recommendations contain the location information, global latency, and benefit percentage. Global latency is based on real time measurements and the site location recommendations are arranged according to the best performing combination of cloud providers’ sites. Benefit displays the advantage of choosing dual-site or triple-site in comparison with the single site.

You can get recommendations for new applications and also existing applications. For existing applications, already configured sites are also displayed and included for calculating the recommendations. You can choose to exclude the existing sites from the recommendation calculations.

The recommendations are specific to the application that you select. Enter the user location, traffic expected from each user location, and the cloud service provider for an application and get the corresponding recommendations.

Note:

The cloud region recommendation engine only provides insights on the latency that the user experiences and the benefit of deploying additional sites to reduce the latency. Based on your network needs and preferences, you can decide if the lower latency outweighs the cost incurred for deploying the application in a second or third location.

To get the cloud region recommendations:

  1. Navigate to Intelligent Traffic Management > Cloud Region Recommendations tab.
  2. Select New Application or an existing application from Select your application.

  3. Click + Location. Select the user location from the list and add the expected traffic percentage. You can add a maximum of six user locations.

    Note:

    For the United States, apart from the country level selection, you can also choose one of the 10 US regions from the list.

  4. Toggle the Existing Locations. When enabled, for existing multi-site application, the existing sites are included for recommendation calculations. This toggle does not impact recommendation calculations for new applications.

  5. Optionally, select the preferred cloud provider from the Cloud Provider list and click Recommend.

  6. The recommendations are listed under the Recommended Site Locations section. Click the recommendation list to view the geographic location of the site on the map.

    Initially, the best recommended sites are listed under the Recommended Site Locations section. Clicking the next recommendation icon lists the next best recommendation. As you move on with the next set of recommendations, the global latency increases. You can also view the Next 10 recommendations.
