You can use clusters with WebSphere Application Server with hardware-based clustering.
Usually, you configure clustering by installing the binary files on both nodes and by creating
profiles only one time on shared disks. When a failure occurs on the current node, the profiles
are recovered in the standby node, and the processes are restarted.
Software-based clustering
With software-based clustering, you create multiple copies of an application component. All of
these copies are available at the same time, both for availability and scalability.
In WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment, application servers can be clustered,
which provides both workload management and high ...
