2.3.2 Benefits
Workload management provides the following benefits to WebSphere applications:
|
| -
| It balances client processing requests, allowing incoming work requests to be distributed according to a configured WLM selection policy.
|
| -
| It provides failover capability by redirecting client requests to a running server when one or more servers are unavailable. This improves the availability of applications and administrative services.
|
| -
| It enables systems to be scaled up to serve a higher client load than provided by the basic configuration. With clusters and cluster members, additional instances of servers can be added to the configuration. See 2.2, WAS clustering for details.
|
| -
| It enables servers to be transparently maintained and upgraded while applications remain available for users.
|
| -
| It centralizes administration of appservers and other objects.
