Sales Fulfillment Application deployment topology
As explained earlier, clustering provides scalability and failover capabilities. A cell can have zero or many clusters and can be distributed across one or more nodes in any configuration. For the Sales Fulfillment Application, JungleSea will adopt clustering to not only allow the above-mentioned benefits, but also to allow high throughputs, resiliency, and to provide space for future growth (per the NFRs listed in the earlier section).
