Sysplex Distributor is the strategic IBM solution for connection workload balancing across a z/OS sysplex. Sysplex Distributor provides TCP/IP load balancing across multiple LPARs.
When a connection between a Client application and a Gateway daemon is established, Sysplex Distributor distributes requests across multiple Gateway daemons. When the connection is established, requests from the Client application continue to use the same connection.
Sysplex Distributor can be combined with TCP/IP port sharing.
