High availability clustering ColdFusion: Using ColdFusion Enterprise Manager

ColdFusion is increasingly in use in large enterprise environments many of which inevitably employ clustering of resources to provide redundancy and scalability. ColdFusion employs the underlying J2EE clustering paradigms and via Enterprise Manager in ColdFusion Administrator GUI provides a way to cluster our ColdFusion instances.

For ColdFusion developers and engineers it is important to consider clustering from the start when planning for ColdFusion applications. It is almost certain that enterprise applications will be clustered at some point and failure to plan with clustering in mind can cause difficulties later on.

By the end of this article you will be able to create instances in ColdFusion and cluster them.
