Administering the Genero Application Server |
One way to increase the capacity of the Genero Application Server (GAS) is to scale it out by deploying multiple instances of the GAS on different servers.
As the GAS is fully integrated with existing Web Servers, third-party tools can be used to implement load balancing. GAS applications can be load balanced using standard load balancing techniques, including software load balancers such as Windows™ Network Load Balancing or HAProxy, as well as hardware-based load balancing appliances.
This section discuss considerations for load balancing GAS applications on multiple instances. The provided examples illustrate simple configurations for Internet Information Services and Apache Web Servers.
