Distributing workloads

The ability to route a request to any server in a group of clustered appservers allows the servers to share work and improving throughput of client requests. Requests can be evenly distributed to servers to prevent workload imbalances in which one or more servers have idle or low activity while others are overburdened. This load balancing activity is a benefit of workload management. Using weighted definitions of cluster members allows nodes to have different hardware resources and still participate in a cluster. The weight specifies that the application server with a higher weight will be more likely to serve the request faster, and workload management will consequently send more requests to that node.
