About the Cluster Server Feature

The Cluster Server feature allows up to 16 Analytics Servers in a network domain to act as a single server. Servers in the cluster share requests from multiple Siebel Business Analytics clients, including Answers and Delivers.

The Cluster Controller is the primary component of the Cluster Server feature. It monitors the status of resources in a cluster and performs session assignment as resources change. It also supports detection of server failures and failover for ODBC clients of failed servers.
