What is webMethods OneData Clustering?
webMethods OneData clustering provides you the infrastructure and tools to deploy multiple webMethods OneData instances as if they were a single virtual server. Clustering becomes important in webMethods OneData as the number of concurrent users, jobs, and service calls increases. webMethods OneData, being primarily a web application, has a multi-layered architecture that allows clustering at different levels that includes the application server and the database.
The benefits for clustering are:
AvailabilityClustering enables you to avoid a single point of failure. If a cluster node cannot handle a request, or becomes unavailable, the request is automatically redirected to another node in the cluster.
Scalability You can increase your capacity even further by adding new nodes to a cluster.
