6. QlikView Server Scalability
Improved QlikView Server scaling and clustering
Optimizations to shared file and PGO files
Handle more concurrent users per application and in total
Scale to more nodes without impacting performance
Stability improvements
See technical brief document for more detailed information
QV 12.1 vs. 11.2
Example throughput for a 2 node cluster
QlikView 12.1 offers improved server clustering and scaling, through optimizations to the shared file and PGO files. This allows QlikView 12.1 to handle more concurrent users, per application and in total. In addition, QlikView 12.1 allows scaling to more nodes in a cluster without impacting performance, and offers improved stability in clustered environments. In fact, QlikView 12.1 delivers up to 25% more throughput than QlikView 11.2, regardless of cluster size, without any increase in average response times. For more information on QlikView Server scalability improvements, refer to the embedded whitepaper on this slide.
QlikView 12.1 can leverage up to 25% more throughput than QlikView 11.2, without any increase in average response times.

7. Unbalanced Clusters
Support for unbalanced QlikView Server clusters
Include nodes with different size CPUs, numbers of cores, and memory configurations
New (alternative) algorithm improves load balancing, especially for unbalanced clusters
Assign specific applications to specific nodes
Version 12.1 also supports unbalanced clusters. This is a much sought-after improvement that allows QlikView clusters to include nodes that do not have the same hardware configurations. This means machines with different size CPUs, numbers of cores, and memory configurations can be included in the same cluster. A new clustering algorithm is offered as an alternative to the current one, and provides improved load balancing, especially for unbalanced clusters. And, administrators can dedicate specific QlikView apps to certain nodes, for better capacity management. Because customers no longer have to use identical hardware when expanding QlikView clusters, they get more flexibility, efficiency, and power.
