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 must support the session affinity or session stickiness to 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 in the background. This front-end server not only provides a single entry point for a cluster of web application servers, but the server also supports load balancing.
