Collectives and zones help define the physical topology,
or locations, of your WebSphere® DataPower® XC10 Appliances.
Creating a collective
For multiple WebSphere DataPower XC10 Appliances to
be grouped for availability, scalability and management purposes,
you must create a collective.
Creating and modifying zones
You can use zones to specify a physical location of your
appliance. This physical location might be two different areas of
a power grid within the same data center, or appliances that are in
completely different data centers, perhaps in different parts of the
country.
