Deployment scheme: Distributed deployment
You have several options for deploying Kaspersky Next XDR Expert. Before you start, ensure that you are familiar with the different deployment schemes, and then choose the one that best meets your organization's requirements.
This section provides a description of the distributed deployment scheme.
Distributed deployment scheme of Kaspersky Next XDR Expert
The distributed deployment scheme of Kaspersky Next XDR Expert contains the following main components:
- Administrator host. On this host, an administrator uses Kaspersky Deployment Toolkit to deploy and manage the Kubernetes cluster and Kaspersky Next XDR Expert. The administrator host is not included in the Kubernetes cluster.
- Kubernetes cluster. A Kubernetes cluster includes the controller node (also referred to as primary node during the deployment procedure) and, at a minimum, three worker nodes. The number of worker nodes may vary. On the scheme, the distribution of Kaspersky Next XDR Expert components among the worker nodes is shown as an example. Actual component distribution may vary.
- DBMS server. A server with an installed database management system is required for the proper function of Kaspersky Next XDR Expert components. An administrator uses Kaspersky Deployment Toolkit to install the DBMS.
- Hosts with KUMA services. The KUMA services (collectors, correlators, and storages) are installed on the hosts that are located outside the Kubernetes cluster. The number of target hosts for KUMA services may vary.
- KATA with KEDR. Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack Platform with the Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response functional block. For details about KATA deployment scenarios, refer to the KATA documentation.
- Kaspersky Next XDR Expert user host. A user device that is used to sign in to OSMP Console or KUMA Console.
- Secondary Administration Servers (optional). Secondary Administration Servers are used to create a Server hierarchy.
- Managed devices. Client devices protected by Kaspersky Next XDR Expert. Each managed device has Network Agent installed.
