External Load Balancing
External load balancing recommendations vary depending on the TIBCO application you are using.
The following recommendations apply for load balancing. Also, refer to the best practices for Enterprise Message Service.
-
TIBCO Order Management - Low Latency
An External Load Balancer resides in front of the servers and route requests across all the servers. It maximizes the speed and capacity of the utilization and ensures that no server is overloaded. Hence, it prevents the degradation of performance. External Load Balancer remains active for all services.
- TIBCO Product and Service Catalog
This is a design-time component, not a high-load application and it does not require load balancing. However, load balancing could be implemented using JBoss cluster and active-active pair.
-
TIBCO Enterprise Message Service
Dual server deployment using active-active configuration, managed by Enterprise Message Service. Requirement for shared state using Storage Area Network or database, with Storage Area Network preferred. Generally, most customer implementations do not require a load balancing configuration.
