Load Balancing
Load balancing is configured for distributing workloads across multiple TIBCO MDM instances, network links, central processing units, disk drives, or other resources. Load balancing optimizes resource use, maximizes throughput, minimizes response time, and avoids overload. Using multiple components with load balancing instead of a single component increases overall throughput of the system.
You can configure load balancing to replicate the member properties in the Configurator. Additionally, you can configure load balancing to start TIBCO MDM instances on the same machine or different machines referring to the same configuration file with a different Member ID. Since all the cluster members would point to the same EMS queues, the load on the system would be distributed equally. This type of configuration optimizes resource use, maximizes throughput, minimizes response time, and avoids overload.
Use an Apache web server with mod_jk for HTTP load balancing with JBoss Application Server. Refer to the JBoss Application Server documentation for the configurations.
