Session Management

Applications built with Iron Speed Designer use the standard .NET session management functionality.

Applications built with Iron Speed Designer do not load balance their session objects across multiple servers.  When a user begins using an application through their browser, a session is established with the application.  Within a session, the application user conducts transactions through the application.  After a period of inactivity that session is automatically terminated.  You may use load balancers to run multiple instances of an Iron Speed Designer applications in a web farm environment.

In periods of heavy load, it can be useful to spread the transaction load from each application user across multiple machines.  This means that individual transactions within a user session can be executed on any available server running the application.  This is a very advanced form of load balancing that is required for only the very highest usage applications.
