Introduction

Today, one of the most important concerns for enterprise applications is to implement robust security mechanisms that allow developers and operation staff to easily integrate applications in a stable infrastructure and allow their users to interact with them in a seamless way.

Flexible Clustering with Payara Server

Application server clustering provides a means to make application infrastructure more robust and perform better.
