Maintaining access to the content managed by Alfresco is important for our customers. Alfresco provides simple to configure clustering options that provide both scalability and availability benefits.
Companies selecting Alfresco Enterprise Edition are looking for a solution that scales to support 1000’s of users and provides a high level of availability. The ability to cluster components provides a number of significant benefits:
- High Availability – By clustering Alfresco application servers companies can remove a single point of failure. Should a node fail the users can be automatically mapped over to one of the remaining servers to ensure no disruption in service
- Higher Scalability – Companies can increase the scalability by adding more nodes to the Alfresco cluster. Horizontal clustering provides the ability to reuse small systems rather than having to add larger and larger servers
The ability to cluster servers provides support for mission critical content rich applications and a cost effective solution for scalability.
Bottom Line: Simple tools allow Enterprise customers to easily configure clustered environments for greater scalability and availability.
