Number of machines

Highly available objects exist in partitions that are shared between multiple nodes. It is recommended that these nodes be located on different machines. Multiple partitions may be hosted on a node, and nodes may act as both the active and replica roles for each other in an active/active configuration.

The number of partitions and the number of machines are chosen for both administrative and performance reasons.

Network interfaces

By default, TIBCO BusinessEvents® Extreme uses a single network interface per node, but it may be configured to use multiple network interfaces.
