Planning application deployment

Before using WebSphere® eXtreme Scale in a production environment, consider the following issues to optimize your deployment.

Planning application deployment

The following list includes items to consider:
  • Number of systems and processors: How many physical machines and processors are needed in the environment?
  • Number of servers: How many eXtreme Scale servers to host eXtreme Scale maps?
  • Number of partitions: The amount of data stored in the maps is one factor in determining the number of partitions needed.
  • Number of replicas: How many replicas are required for each primary in the domain?
  • Synchronous or asynchronous replication: Is the data vital so that synchronous replication is required? Or is performance a higher priority, making asynchronous replication the correct choice?
  • Heap sizes: How much data will be stored on each server?
