This image shows the growth progression of a WebSphere Application Server (WAS) from a single-node cell to a multi-node cell.
The single-node cell shows nested elements in the basic cell including:
- Virtual machine 1 contains profile 1
- Profile 1 contains node 1
- Node 1 contains an application server and a Deployment Manager and WAS administration console
- The application server contains applications A1 and A2
The mulit-node cell shows two virtual machines communicating over a message bus. Virtual machine 1 is similar to that in the basic cell, except that it includes 2 application servers with applications. Virtual machine 2 includes:
- Profiles 2 and 3
- Profile 2 contains node 2 and profile 3 contains node 3
- Each node contains 2 application servers and a node agent to interface with the deployment manager and WAS administration console in virtual machine 1
- Each application server contains applications A1 and A2
