In this high-availability Cisco IM and Presence deployment with three subclusters, the first user is

server 3 A. Assume that the Cisco IM and Presence is set to Active/Standby mode, to which server should the
fourth user be assigned?

A.
1A

B.
3B

C.

D.

Explanation:
This deployment model provides the same level of redundancy and high availability as outlined in
the “Balanced Redundant High-Availability Deployment” section in this chapter.
The only difference is that users are not deployed in a balanced fashion, but rather all reside on the
primary server in the subcluster, and the backup server is there as a standby option if a node failure
occurs.
