Multi-site (WAN) Configuration

Use the multi-site configuration to scale horizontally between disparate, loosely-coupled distributed systems. A wide-area network (WAN) is the main use case for the multi-site topology.

• How Multi-site (WAN) Systems Work
  The vFabric GemFire multi-site implementation connects disparate distributed systems. The systems to act as one when they are coupled and they act as independent systems when communication between sites fails. The coupling is tolerant of weak or slow links between distributed system sites.
• Multi-site (WAN) Topologies
  To configure your multi-site topology, you should understand the recommended topologies and the topologies to avoid.
• Configuring a Multi-site (WAN) System
  Plan and configure your multi-site topologies and configure the regions that will be shared between systems.
• Configuring Load Balancing for a Multi-site (WAN) System
  Keep your multi-site communication optimized by balancing system communication load between multiple hubs.
