Application Partitioning

The Netscape Application Server architecture supports application partitioning, which allows logic to be distributed across servers as an application scales to accommodate heavier loads.

Application logic can also be grouped where each group consists of related operations. Each application component can belong to one or more groups. Applications can also share application logic.

Application partitioning enables system administrators to do the following:

  • Monitor component load in real time
  • Instantly change load monitoring parameters
  • Manage application components
  • Deploy components to any or all machines in cluster
  • Deploy based on component/machine suitability
  • Disable components but keep them available and ready for instant activation
