Collectives and zones help define the
physical topology,
or locations, of your WebSphere® DataPower® XC10 Appliances.
Creating a collective
For multiple WebSphere DataPower XC10 Appliances to
be grouped for availability, scalability and management purposes,
you must create a collective.
Creating and modifying zones
You can use zones to specify a physical location of your
appliance. This physical location might be two different areas of
a power grid within the same data center, or appliances that are in
completely different data centers, perhaps in different parts of the
country.
Configuring replication between collectives
By establishing collective links between
the catalog servers in your collectives, you can asynchronously replicate
data between data grids in two different collectives.
