Sun Java Enterprise System 5 Installation Planning Guide

Deployment Architectures

The scenario descriptions in Table A–2 and the recommended practices noted above do not include recommended Java ES deployment architectures for a multi-zone environment. Such architectures would be an adaptation of deployment architectures created for multi-computer network environments. In other words, the availability of multi-zone environments does not change the basic deployment design approaches for achieving high performance, high availability, scalability, security, and serviceability for Java ES deployment systems. What a multi-zone environment allows you to do is consolidate such deployment architectures into fewer computers.

Details of how to adapt a Java ES deployment architecture to a multi-zone environment, however, are highly dependent on the administrative strategies you desire, as discussed in previous sections. Deployment architectures also depend on your strategy for achieving high availability.

Note that Table A–2 and the recommended practices above do not include recommended procedures for implementing the scenarios that are described. In some cases the order in which Java ES components are installed and the order in which non-local zones are created can be important.
