The Connexion Cluster, shown above, consists of 2 computersphysical, or virtual, machines, which are bound to the same Connexion Configuration Database. The Connexion Cluster is operates in an Active/Passive cluster mode where 1 the Active node is performing performs work, and the other is on standing byPassive node is idle until the Active node fails.
Since many of the Connections coming into Connexion will be HL7, a network switch (hardware, or software) must be used to route the network traffic to the active node in the cluster. Connexion can be configured to have the active node periodically ping the Network Switch to notify the switch which node in the cluster the network traffic should be directed to.
Connexion databases can be named, so it is possible to have multiple Connexion instances hosted by the same database server. It is also possible to have the Connexion message databases hosted by different database servers.
