Updated 07 Jan 2009 Learn how and when to grow clustered topologies that use IBM®
WebSphere® Process Server and WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus. When new BPM and
ESB applications are deployed, you may need to expand the initial topology to take
advantage of increased IT resources (such as memory) or to isolate applications. This
article describes a standard "golden topology" widely used in production deployments,
and then examines how to grow the topology from within the cluster, and by adding new
clusters. It describes good and bad design patterns, what to consider, and the costs and
limitations of each approach. The article also describes how to plan for Service Integration Bus
connectivity and desired messaging engine behavior.
