The easiest setup is a single STAX server.  This STAX server should be set 
up for automatically backed up.

If you expect to have heavy load (e.g running 500+ STAX jobs in parallel) 
then you should have a very high end STAX server with lots of memory.

Alternatively, you can multiple STAX servers to handle the heavy load. 
This is a fairy complex setup and will require some STAX jobs to 
coordinate the STAX servers and job execution.

Subject:        [staf-users] STAF/STAX topology - best practices



We're updating a lot of stuff in our lab, among which is updating our 
legacy STAF/STAX system.  I have a question about system topology. Our 
current setup has six machines, and each machine has both STAF and STAX 
installed on it.  I've read a few places that a better setup might be to 
install STAF on all six machines but only install STAX on one 'master' 
machine.  Is that correct?  

Thanks is advance.
