Chapter 5. Topologies<br />

Topology refers to what devices and computers are going to be used to set up a<br />

<strong>WebSphere</strong> <strong>Application</strong> <strong>Server</strong> application—the physical layout of each one and<br />

the relationship between them. When selecting a topology, there are a number of<br />

considerations that impact the decision of which one to use.<br />

This chapter describes some common topologies that are used in <strong>WebSphere</strong><br />

<strong>Application</strong> <strong>Server</strong> implementations. It addresses topologies that are relatively<br />

simple as well as some that are more complex by describing the relationship<br />

between <strong>WebSphere</strong> <strong>Application</strong> <strong>Server</strong> components and their role in the<br />

solution.<br />

This chapter contains the following sections:<br />

► “Topology selection criteria” on page 122<br />

► “Terminology” on page 134<br />

► “Topologies in detail” on page 139<br />
