Last updated Friday, 21 July 2017When you start to plan your IBM® Integration Bus environment, you must first consider the design of your system infrastructure. A major consideration when you are planning to use IBM Integration Bus is how it will fit into your overall system architecture, and it is important to understand the movement of data around your whole system.
It is also important to understand the high-level goals of the system that you are building, and to be clear about the functional requirements. For example, IBM Integration Bus has extremely powerful routing and transformation capabilities, but it is not designed to function as an application server whose primary function is data processing that involves a high number of complex calculations.
Another important consideration is whether you require a highly available (HA) system that can withstand the failure of an individual execution group or integration node. For more information about high availability, see Configuring for high availability.
The capability and capacity of your brokers is partly determined by the operation mode in which the brokers are running, and this is determined by the IBM Integration Bus license that you have purchased. For example, Express Edition entitles you to run a broker in Express mode, in which a subset of capabilities are enabled for use with a single integration server, whereas the full edition enables you to run brokers in Advanced mode with all features enabled and with no limits to the number of resources that you can create and maintain. For more information, see IBM Integration features and Operation modes.
