I used to think that server farm is from management point of view
(start/stop, deploy, monitor, etc.), and server cluster is from runtime
point of view (fail-over, load-balancing, etc.). But after a little search,
it seems that many people regard them as the same thing. Some people also
has an
I would say the other way around. A cluster is a type of farm.
I see a farm as a set of independent instances. I see a cluster as a
set of collaborating instances. You can deploy a non clustered
application to a farm whereby you do not have resilience in case of
service failure. And you
Thanks! So IIUC, farm provide system Load balancing, while Cluster add the
ability of failover, is that right?:-)

Hi all,
I just noticed there are 2 pairs of clusterName=CLUSTER_NAME in
config-substitions.properties. My understanding of them is one for WADI
clustering and another for farming.
Can we using different keywords to identify them? ie. farmingClusterName
and WADIClusterName or sth. like that.
