The Infrastructure
Features of the Infrastructure

Scalability



Web server tier: new application servers can be
added to the balanced application server cluster
Simulation server tier: can be scaled almost
linearly by installing new simulation servers
running identical simulations
Database server tier: real application cluster (RAC)
enables all active instances executing transactions
against a shared database
Features of the Infrastructure

(cont)
Availability



Web server tier: eliminates single point of
failure by redundancy and failover, and
session state is maintained in the database
server tier
Simulation server tier: simulation
checkpointing and resuming
Database server tier: eliminates single
point of failure by redundancy and failover
