Building farms with IBM Websphere, IBM Http Server, Load Balancer (or Dispacher)

Question

Do you know a web page or pdf or any books to learn how to architecture these products to create a farm?

Also any generic web application farm architecture best-practices source is appreciated ...

I would like to learn about highly available and scalable web architecture especially using IBM products...

Answer 1

Look at the IBM Redbooks site, maybe WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment V6: High Availability Solutions.

IBM Redbooks publications are developed and published by the IBM International Technical Support Organization (ITSO). The ITSO develops and delivers skills, technical know-how, and materials to IBM technical professionals, Business Partners, clients, and the marketplace in general.

Answer 2

I came across an interesting article[1] this morning that talks about how to make large clusters in WAS to handle extremely high workloads.
