Adding Application Server Nodes

As the usage of applications grows within the organization, adding additional server nodes is the best way to achieve required performance and scalability. If the organization’s model exhibits seasonality or periodic variations, the system load will fluctuate accordingly. For example, the average load on the system may quadruple during month end closing, or the plant may be closed for a week every quarter for maintenance. Adding or removing application server nodes should be considered to manage seasonality. To mitigate risk of degraded performance and undesired downtime, it is crucial to understand the business cycles of the organization and to plan for the required level of performance, availability, and scalability.

Application server nodes can be added in two ways in a deployment.
