Scalability Terminology: Farms, Clones, Partitions, and Packs: RACS and RAPS
Overview The key scalability technique is to replicate a service at many nodes. The simplest form of replication, copies both programs and data. These shared-nothing clones can be as easy to manage as a single instance – yet they provide both scalability and availability (RACS). Shared-nothing clones are not appropriate for large databases or update-intensive services. For these applications, services can be mapped onto packed-partitions. Packs make partitions highly available by automatically restarting a failed partition on another node with access to the failed partition’s storage. Middleware is responsible for making the management of these partitions as simple as the management of a single node (RAPS).
