Distributed versus standalone servers?
I currently have 2 WebSphere servers both running WAS 8.5.5.13
One is running the CLM suite 6.0.3 with [jts, ccm, rm, qm]
The other is running [rs, dcc, lqe]
I understand LQE is a resource intensive product, but nobody on my project is using this application and I am considering uninstalling. With only RS and DCC remaining on the server, would you consolidate down to 1 WebSphere server?
I am looking for simplicity and ease of management without impacting performance. Thoughts?
One answer
Hi, Matthew
Depending on the number of users, usage of the products, many users have distributed each product jts, ccm, rm and rm to different machine on production environment.
Also RS/DCC is quite resource intensive components and it is reasonable for some users to only separate these component to another box which you are having now.
So I don't see much benefits for you to change the current topology even though your team may not use lqe for now(when lqe is used, it may be the time you want to separate lqe on its own box because of performance impact).
