Multiple XI instances or multiple app server

[Former Member]

In a year or so we will be moving into an area where will be getting several feeds from several countries in Asia and South America. We now get feeds from EU and US.

The question most people are asking is whether we need multiple XI instances or multiple app servers. So there will nbe a need for 24/7 XI traffic which we already have now. What works best to support several time zones, backups, maintenances.

Would like to know how others are handling this in similar environment.

Thanks!

A good Question, benefit is lot, In simple words Load balance.. Performance in Transfering the messages will be quick, System resource is maintained and you can assign particular adapters for particular interfaces..alone... if you have Multiple App servers....

Today we have just one app server under different client number. Does it have to go on multiple clients....I don't believe so but some clarification would help. How do we channel certain interfaces to go on a particular application server if we have multiple app server in one client.

Thanks.

Hi Pam !!

You can specify the integration server to use in the communication channel definition. I think going on different clients its not necesary.
