8.3.9 Heterogeneous cell topology
Cells can span servers across multiple heterogeneous operating systems such as z/OS
sysplex environments and distributed platforms. For example, z/OS nodes, Linux nodes,
UNIX nodes, and Microsoft Windows nodes can exist in the same application server cell. This
configuration type is called a
heterogeneous cell. With WebSphere Application Server V8.5,
many different topologies are possible to compose a heterogeneous cell, as illustrated in
Figure 8-11.
