IBM Streams 4.2.1

Considerations for IBM Streams environments with multiple resources

Review these options and requirements for IBM® Streams environments before you install the product.

Considerations for an IBM Streams production environment
The preferred and most reliable environment for multiple resources is a production environment. This option provides high availability so that IBM Streams continues to run even if resources fail or are not available.
Considerations for an IBM Streams hybrid environment
IBM Streams supports a highly available hybrid environment that uses Secure Shell (SSH).
Considerations for IBM Streams development and test environments
If you do not need high availability with automatic recovery from failures, a development or test environment might be your preferred option. Using Secure Shell (SSH) is optional.
