Multiple instances

When using the J2EE configuration, you can define multiple server instances on a single computer, each running ColdFusion MX. Running multiple instances of ColdFusion MX has the following advantages:

• Application isolation You deploy an independent application to each server instance. Each server instance has separate settings, and because each server instance runs in its own instance of the JVM, problems encountered by one application have no effect on other applications.
• Load balancing and failover You deploy the same application to each server instance and add the instances to a cluster. The web server connector optimizes performance and stability by automatically balancing load and by switching requests to another server instance when a server instance stops running.

For more information on configuring ColdFusion MX on multiple server instances, including detailed information for configuring multiple server instances when running on JRun 4, see Configuring and Administering ColdFusion MX.
