1. Re: Tableau 8 and 9 architectural difference
Mark Wu Apr 21, 2016 9:10 AM (in response to balaji.kolluru)1 of 1 people found this helpfulHere is my summary of architecture differences between Tableau 8 to 9. Pls ref Tableau Server 9.0 High Availability: Delivering Mission-Critical Analytics in the Flow | Tableau Software for details:
- HA and fail-over new components introduced in 9.0 : Coordinator Service & Cluster Controller (report process status and coordinate failover for HA and failover).
- New File Store in Tableau 9 to ensure extracts are available on all nodes of a cluster
- New Cache Server manages a shared query cache across the server cluster and is used by the VizQL Server, Backgrounder, and Data Server processes
- New minimum hardware requirements - Tableau 9 will not install if the hardware does not meet the minimum requirements
- New API server - This process is used when you interact with the server via REST API.
- Data Engine is no longer limited to running only two data engine nodes per cluster. This new flexibility can improve server clusters that are used for extract-heavy scenarios
- Gateway can be configured in multiple nodes for better HA.
- You must have minimum 3-node in the cluster to achieve full HA mode starting Tableau 9

I wrote some articles last year on this topic. Hope that they are helpful
What's new in Tableau Server 9.0
http://interworks.co.uk/blog/whats-new-in-tableau-server-9-0-for-the-administrator/
http://interworks.co.uk/blog/comparing-performance-tableau-8-3-server-vs-tableau-9-0-server/
These were for 9.0. Since then there have been further changes so they are a little out of date
All the best
Glen
