Clustering
Integrated clustering support
- ability to combine multiple (unlimited) servers in a cluster
- all servers in the cluster can be 'live'
- integrated web based cluster monitoring
- heartbeat to detect unavailable servers
- automatic master election to carry on backend tasks
- backend tasks partitioned across servers where the task can be parallelized
- servers can be geographically separated
Benefits
- use SW/HW load balancer to spread load across multiple servers
- support more concurrent users
- add more servers to the cluster as demand increases
- provide high availability (if one server is down, users can still work)
