POM is deployed on Experience Portal as a managed application. Organizations, zones, and users created on Experience Portal are stored in the local database of Experience Portal. When POM services start, this data is copied into the POM database. The data created on Experience Portal of the active data center must also be manually created on Experience Portal of all the standby data centers to reduce the downtime during transition from active data center to standby data center.

Special consideration is required if you are using Experience Portal to host other applications in addition to POM. Sufficient resources must be available on the primary and standby system.
