A typical Pega Platform cluster consists of several physical or virtual machine instances sharing a single database. Machine instances may have multiple web application server instances or Pega Platform servers.
Based on organizational needs, it is important to consider which of the following tools to use for performing system maintenance on Pega Platform servers:
If an organization is not managing multiple clusters, you can use high availability landing pages. Because the Pega Platform cluster management pages use the system pulse to communicate, data is accurate after two pulse cycles, and the latency that is introduced when updating the Pega Platform server run state might not be optimal for large organizations.
