Note: *
DataDirect drivers are included out of the box with TIBCO Spotfire Server for
connecting to these data source types. For production use, it is recommended to
use drivers that are provided/recommended by the specific data source vendor
though.
Note: Additional
data source types (and their corresponding drivers) can be added manually.

Load Balancer (Optional) |
Load balancing Spotfire Servers can be achieved using Apache httpd with the mod_jk module enabled. This solution is fully tested (using Apache httpd v2.2.14 and mod_jk v1.2.28) and recommended. It is also possible to use a different load balancing solution, as long as it supports session affinity, which ensures that a client communicates with the same server for the duration of the session. |
Clustering (Optional) |
Multiple Spotfire Servers can be clustered, for failover and improved scalability, using one of the following options:
