The N-to-1cluster configuration is the configuration (cold standby configuration) equivalent to the high availability cluster for each HCSC server configuring the load-balancing cluster.

By operating all standby servers on a single machine, you can set up the configuration on a single machine in the standby node for N units of a machine in the executing node. Therefore, you can arrange sets of HCSC servers with the high availability cluster configuration in parallel, and perform load balancing.

The following figure shows the N-to-1 cluster configuration:
