A Dual-Site cluster is a type of cluster that combines the features of both Active-Standby and VSLS (Virtual Systems Load Sharing) clusters. Dual-Site clusters allow you to have two active clusters, one at each site, and the traffic is distributed between the two sites based on predefined rules and priorities.

A Dual-Site cluster can be compared to an Active-Standby cluster because one of the clusters is running in a passive mode and is only activated in case of a failure or a planned maintenance of the active cluster. And also can be compared to a VSLS cluster because both clusters are active and share the traffic load.

It's a type of High Availability solution that provides redundancy and failover capabilities across two geographically separated sites. In case of a failure or a outage on one site, the traffic is automatically redirected to the other site, ensuring that the service is not interrupted.

Iterator is the process that follows Appliance recovery and simulates what was a distribution if recovered Appliance was alive. The Iterator process runs on the Security Management Server and simulates the distribution of the Security Gateways if the recovered Appliance was alive. This helps ensure that the network remains secure and the traffic flow is optimized.
