What is Point Of Delivery or POD?

 A Point Of Delivery or POD refers to the Demandware hardware deployed in a data centre. A POD contains multiple state-of-the-art application servers, database servers and the clustering and backup infrastructure to support multiple client Realms.

·       Each POD is hosted in a third-party data centre.

·       Demandware partitions PODs into realms, which are associated with a given customer.

·       A realm can contain one or more eCommerce sites (a.k.a, storefronts).

·       A typical merchant using the Demandware platform will operate in a single realm.

Within that one realm, the merchant and developer can develop, stage, and deploy multiple sites.
