Thanks for the comment.
So, in br...Morning, Danny<br /><br />Thanks for the comment.<br /><br />So, in broad terms, no, there's no concept of clustering <i>per se</i>, as the web servers typically hold little/no state and don't typically have applications deployed to them. Instead, they act as front-end focal points for web application servers e.g. WebSphere Application Server, Tomcat etc. which <b>can/should</b> be clustered.<br /><br />Traffic to the front-end web server - IBM HTTP Server, Apache etc. - is aggregated by an HTTP load balancer, such as F5 Network's BigIP device or similar LB services such as that provided by Amazon Web Services.<br /><br />Therefore, you can/should have multiple instances of an active web server, typically >2 such instances ( whether physical or virtual ) per data centre, aiming to avoid single points of failure and provide resilience and availability.<br /><br />Hope this is of some help<br /><br />Dave<br />Dave Hayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10444759805764485699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6740338341177826314.post-59966297422997169082018-01-20T09:41:17.704+00:002018-01-20T09:41:17.704+00:00hi, i'm new to this.
