Chapter 3. High Availability Using Server Hinting

In JBoss Data Grid, the term Server Hinting ensures that backup copies of data are not stored on the same physical server, rack or data center as the original. Server Hinting does not apply to total replication because total replication mandates complete replicas on every server, rack and data center.

Server Hinting is particularly important when ensuring the high availability of your JBoss Data Grid implementation.
