Three-cluster topology

You can install IBM® Business Monitor into many topologies. You can use the three-cluster topology to set up a high performance environment. The IBM Business Monitor golden topology is a three-cluster topology where two cluster members per cluster are used to achieve high availability and high performance.

The following three-cluster topology uses the Application, Remote Messaging, and Remote Support topology pattern deployment environment pattern. This pattern groups the IBM Business Monitor applications into three clusters in a single cell.

To find the messaging engines in the administrative console, click Service integration > Buses.
