Solution State data is deferred to a collection of stateful system services that form a grid that provides high scalability and fault tolerance through memory replication and redundancy and supporting infrastructure. Application Grid technology is introduced into the enterprise or inventory architecture. Impacts This pattern can require a significant infrastructure upgrade and can correspondingly increase governance burden. Principles Service Statelessnes Architecture Enterprise, Inventory, Service A service grid establishes replicated instances of stateful grid services across different server machines, resulting in increased scalability and reliability of state data. (A grid service is represented by the standard service symbol enclosed in a honeycomb cell.)
