PPM Server Memory Management

A node in a PPM server cluster runs in the context of a single Java Virtual Machine (JVM). We recommend that you use a server cluster configuration, with multiple nodes, to improve reliability and performance.

Using multiple nodes in your configuration enables you to do the following:

• Support increased user load

• Improve capacity

• Maintain and provide acceptable performance

You can increase the capacity of a PPM instance by adding more PPM nodes. To meet the availability needs of the organization, you can distribute these nodes in the PPM cluster across one or more physical hosts.
