Welcome to the gateway of enhanced performance – the Cybernode Preferred Server Selection guide! Elevate your Exium SASE experience by strategically choosing the Preferred Server (SASE cloud node) closest to your users and connecting locations within the CyberMesh.
¶ Exium's CyberMesh: Powering Your Global Business Fabric with Zero Trust Security!
Step into the future with Exium's Intelligent Cybersecurity Mesh, a cloud-scale security platform that seamlessly connects and safeguards your apps, data, devices, and users on a global scale.
¶ Latency and Throughput Tests: Unleashing the Power of Proximity!
When creating a workspace for your client organization, the key is selecting the Preferred Server in Exium's portal. Optimal performance is ensured by choosing the server closest to the users and connecting locations, guaranteeing lower latency and higher throughput. If you find this decision challenging, conduct throughput and latency tests directly to our CyberMesh from devices and locations you aim to secure.
During Latency and Throughput Tests, ensure any VPN or proxy is turned off, as it may impact server selection. Keep in mind that latency and throughput can vary based on factors such as the time of day and network conditions. Consider these tests as a guiding light, complemented by the proximity of the Preferred Server, to make a well-informed selection.
¶ Failover and High Availability
In each of the above regions listed above, Exium operates multiple Cybernodes to accommodate the capacity demand, for failover and for high availability
¶ Secure Private Access (SPA) Tests
You can benchmark Secure Private Access (SPA) latency and performance by simple tests to our SPA servers running on internal 100.x IP addresses in the Cybernodes.
- Navigate to the MSP admin console -> Client Workspace
- Click on Gateways in the left menu bar → Gateways
For the SPA test to work, you need to be connected to Exium from your laptop with either Exium client running on the device or you need to be at a location secured by Exium's cyber gateway.
- Any of the gateways that are in connected state will have a TUN IP starting with 100.x. Note the IP.
- Replace the last part of the IP with a “1”.
- For example, cgw.azure gateway in the screenshot below has a TUN IP:100.100.9.5
- Replace 5 with 1, copy the resulting IP and paste in the browser as http://100.100.9.1:3000 (NOTE: port 3000)
- A speedtest will launch running the latency, jitter and throughput tests
