Scenario 5 - Load Balancing using Apache Web Server with Tomcat Servers

With multiple instances of CA OM Web Viewer, you can deploy another server as a load balancer to dispatch requests.

Note: The load balancer needs to support session affinity or session stickiness to help ensure that requests of the same session are directed to the same server.

For example, deploy an Apache web server as the front-end server with multiple Tomcat servers behind the scene. This front-end server not only provides a single entry point for a cluster of web application servers but also supports load balancing.
