Java Cluster Setup  

Purpose

An appropriate cluster setup is one of the main prerequisites for the efficient performance of your system.

The Java cluster components form the initial system configuration, which is typically based on the expected system load, defined by such factors as the anticipated throughput and number of users, as well as on the available hardware resources.

When installing the J2EE Engine, you can choose to install the necessary components on a single host or on different hosts. In addition, you can choose the number of server processes in each Java instance.

Process Flow

If the system load is greater than expected and the cluster that you have initially set up does not scale well, you can resize it by:

·        Installing new Java instances

·        Adding server processes to existing Java instances
