Advantages<br />

This topology is designed to maximize performance, throughput, and availability.<br />

It incorporates the benefits of the other distributed server topologies and adds<br />

the possibility to mix different operating systems. Advantages are as follows:<br />

► Benefits from horizontal and vertical scaling described in previous sections<br />

► Flexible deployment of components<br />

Components can be deployed to systems on which they provide the best<br />

value and effectiveness.<br />

► Easier integration and reuse of existing software components<br />

As multiple systems can be included in the cell, the integration of existing,<br />

platform-specific software components is much easier.<br />

► Easier migration<br />

Running different versions and platforms of <strong>WebSphere</strong> <strong>Application</strong> <strong>Server</strong> in<br />

a cell is a possible migration approach for migrating <strong>WebSphere</strong> <strong>Application</strong><br />

<strong>Server</strong> versions. Although this is a supported environment mixed version cells<br />

should not be considered a permanent solution.<br />
