B2B Integration: Unlocking multi-cluster value in the cloud

You may already be exploring innovative solutions to meet the growing demands of your workloads. One such solution gaining traction in the market is the concept of a multi-cluster environment.

Benefits of a multi-cluster cloud environment

Simply said, a multi-cluster cloud environment involves the deployment of multiple clusters of computing resources to enhance scalability, efficiency, and workload management.

In a multi-cluster setup, you can create distinct clusters of servers or virtual machines, each dedicated to specific tasks or applications. This approach offers a flexible and scalable infrastructure, allowing seamless adaptation to varying workloads.

The ability to isolate workloads in different clusters enhances security and it makes it easier to manage resources and optimize performance.

Examples of multi-cluster environments

An e-commerce organization can leverage multi-cluster architecture to handle the peak demands of online shopping during the holiday season. By distributing workloads across multiple clusters, the company can ensure uninterrupted service, preventing performance bottlenecks, and guaranteeing a seamless shopping experience.

In the manufacturing industry, operations often involve a diverse range of tasks, from production processes to supply chain management and logistics. Adopting a multi-cluster environment can bring several benefits to enhance the efficiency and resilience of these operations.

The multi-cluster approach is helping enterprises solve modern challenges

Today’s business and technology challenges are driving B2B transformation, as enterprises embrace opportunities to modernize their digital infrastructure.

Adoption of the multi-cluster approach for B2B integration is gaining momentum at Axway. It has proven instrumental in providing our customers with a robust solution, higher availability, disaster recovery capabilities, and no downtime.

Consider for example how Equinor, the second-largest gas supplier in Europe, made the move to a multi-cluster environment with Axway’s B2B Integration platform to benefit from more reliable B2B data exchange.

If you're contemplating whether the multi-cluster approach is the right fit for your needs, we have prepared a handy checklist to guide your decision-making process.
