Clustering Alfresco servers

Clustering refers to collections of multiple nodes combined together in a server as a single application to end users. With clustering, you can achieve scalability, server redundancy, and performance improvement of the application.

Let's consider a global financial organization that has multiple teams working for it across the globe. Alfresco is used as an enterprise content repository to store all the financial assets, like contracts. Now, these assets are very time-critical, and therefore the contracts should be accessible to all teams working on it at any time. There are thousands of users using the application, which also requires high server performance. High throughput is required for the server for users accessing assets in the system.

To satisfy these requirements, you will need to build a robust and highly available system by creating a clustered environment of Alfresco so the load on the server can be distributed. You also need a redundant and scalable...
