A zone is a grouping of XenApp servers that COMMUNICATE with a common data collector. In large FARMS with multiple zones, each zone has a server designated as its data collector. Data collectors in farms with more than one zone function as COMMUNICATION gateways with the other zone data collectors. The data collector maintains all LOAD and SESSION information for the servers in its zone. All farms have at least one zone, even small ones. The fewest number of zones should be implemented, with one being optimal. Multiple zones are necessary only in large farms that span WANs.
