Description
Remote network access is accomplished by leveraging common communication protocols and establishing a remote connection to the AS. Application server clusters are multiple application servers hosting the same application or applications. Clusters are utilized to provide application load balancing and /or redundancy. Without centralized control of clustered application servers, management of multiple application servers configured in a cluster is difficult at best. It is critical that application servers provide the capability to manage all application servers contained within a cluster from the centralized designated management system.
