This redbook discusses various options for scaling applications based on
WebSphere
Application Server, Advanced Edition. The objective of this book is to
explore how the
basic configuration can be extended to provide more computing power, by
better
exploiting the power of each machine, and by using multiple machines. It
examines a
number of techniques, including:

- Cloning and Pooling of multiple Java Virtual Machines
- Distributing the load from one Web server to multiple Application
Servers,
using Servlet Redirector and OSE Transports
- Using IBM Network Dispatcher to distribute the load between multiple
Web servers
- Using the EJB Workload Management facility (WLM) to distribute load
 at the EJB level
- Distributing session state using the Session Clustering Facility

This book shows step-by-step procedures for the UNIX, Windows NT
and AS/400 platforms. Both simple and advanced configurations are
covered.

This has been done using WebSphere Application Server V3.021
(OS/400, UNIX and Windows NT) and V3.5 (UNIX and Windows)
Advanced Edition.
