A cluster of two or more
SAP Mobile Server nodes provides some degree of load balancing, but load
balancing can also be applied to both client connections and EIS connections, to improve
performance and efficiently use resources in the SAP Mobile Server
cluster.
There are two load-balancing mechanisms you can use with the
SAP Mobile Server cluster:
- Relay Server – an SAP
software product that acts as a reverse proxy server for client devices communicating
with SAP Mobile Server.
- Load balancer appliance – a third-party product, such as an L4
network switch, can be used for both client and EIS connections.
Note: You
cannot use Relay Server
on
EIS connections.
