Active-Active Server Architecture

Current Functionality:

The existing UniServe application supports Active-Passive server architecture.

Enhancement:

The implementation of an Active-Active server architecture within our system enables the configuration of multiple sets of application servers (Primary & Secondary) dedicated to job processing and other critical functionalities. This architecture utilizes a centralized database schema, facilitating seamless coordination and data consistency across multiple server nodes.

With Active-Active server configuration, our application dynamically manages varying numbers of server instances, allowing for simultaneous and active processing of jobs and tasks across the system. This setup enhances system reliability and performance by distributing traffic and workload efficiently across multiple servers simultaneously.

By leveraging an Active-Active architecture, we ensure uninterrupted service delivery, improved scalability, and optimized resource utilization, ultimately improving our system's overall resilience and responsiveness.

Benefits:

• High Availability: The Active-Active server architecture enhances system reliability and availability by configuring multiple sets of application servers (Primary & Secondary) dedicated to job processing. This configuration ensures continuous service operation even in the event of server failures or maintenance.

• Load Distribution: Active-Active configuration optimizes resource utilization and system performance by distributing the work load across multiple server instances at the same time. This enables efficient handling of varying job processing demands.

• Fault Tolerance: A centralized database schema across multiple server nodes improves data consistency and fault tolerance. In the event of a server failure or node disruption, the system maintains data integrity and continues operations without interruption.

• Improved Performance: Simultaneous and active job processing across multiple servers improves overall system performance and responsiveness. This setup enables faster job execution and reduced processing times, enhancing user experience and system efficiency.

These benefits collectively highlight how the Active-Active server architecture implementation improves system reliability, scalability, performance, and resilience, enhancing the overall efficiency and responsiveness of the system.
