For better scalability and throughput, increase the number of Enterprise Server instances and HADB nodes by adding more machines. For example, you could add two machines, each with one Enterprise Server instance and one HADB node. Make sure to add the HADB nodes in pairs, assigning one node for each DRU. Variation of Co-located Topology illustrates this configuration.

Variation of Co-located Topology

In this variation, the machines SYS4 and SYS5 have been added to the co-located topology described in Example Configuration.

Enterprise Server instances are hosted as follows:

These instances form a cluster that persists information to the two DRUs:
