JReport Server Cluster

A JReport Server Cluster is a distributed cluster in which a group of servers work together to provide cluster-wide shared resources, security, schedules and version services. In a JReport Server Cluster, all clustered servers play exactly the same role and any one can exit from the cluster any time.

The JReport Server Cluster provides the following major benefits:

• Manageability: All users and resources can be controlled from a clustered server, remotely.
• High-Availability: When one server fails to perform, the tasks running on it will be re-allocated to other servers. If a server has already been fully utilized, the tasks sent to it will be allocated to the other servers.
• Scaleable: You can add or remove servers dynamically according to your needs.

There are many nodes (clustered servers) in a JReport Server Cluster. Every clustered server has the same responsibility. You can set a clustered server to perform a specific role in a JReport Server Cluster by configuring its properties.
