Advantages of Distributed LDAP Databases
- smaller databases make for simpler and faster backup and recovery
- process size is smaller
- process map traversal is faster
- shorter pauses during Directory Server checkpoints
- smaller databases can be housed on smaller hardware, maximizing rack space and power utilization
- greater scalability: as the number of entries increases, distributed databases grow horizontally
- capacity is more easily predicted in horizontally-scaled architectures
Overview of the Distribution Mechanism
- support massively scalable deployments
- [Sun Java System Directory Proxy Server] provides distribution mechanism
- flat namespace distribution across set of directory servers with out of the box and programmable distribution algorithms
- operation-based routing
- load balancing
