This document lays out the various tradeoffs involved with, and the options available for, building highly available production e-business solutions utilizing IBM’s WebSphere Network Deployment V5.0 (ND) product. This document is directed towards WebSphere architects and advanced WebSphere planners. There are three key concepts that one should be comfortable when proceeding to use this document: high availability, failover, and clusters.

High availability (HA). An application or service that is provided in a near-continuous fashion.

Failover. When a process becomes unavailable, requests are directed away from the unavailable process and toward the other, available, processes in the cluster.

Clusters. A cluster is a collection of servers working together as a single system to ensure that mission-critical applications and resources remain available to clients.
