If you're using the same shared folder on all servers, if the origin point of that shared server goes does then you lose all the documents until that server is back up. I don't see how that's redundant when everything depends on one shared drive.</P><P></P><P>Can someone explain this to me? Or explain how I can make redundancy more effective?</P><P></P><P>Thanks!</P><P></P><P>Joe</P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT https://community.qlik.com/t5/QlikView/What-is-the-point-of-clustering-QlikView-servers/m-p/1154632#M1314725 2026-01-26T18:19:17Z Re: What is the point of clustering QlikView servers https://community.qlik.com/t5/QlikView/What-is-the-point-of-clustering-QlikView-servers/m-p/1154633#M1314726 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>If you´re clustering you should store your qvw under a NAS mapped folder acessible to all cluster servers</P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 08 Jun 2016 18:32:54 GMT https://community.qlik.com/t5/QlikView/What-is-the-point-of-clustering-QlikView-servers/m-p/1154633#M1314726 Clever_Anjos 2016-06-08T18:32:54Z Re: What is the point of clustering QlikView servers https://community.qlik.com/t5/QlikView/What-is-the-point-of-clustering-QlikView-servers/m-p/1154634#M1314727 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Then what if your NAS mapped folder goes down?
