Triad
From Resin 3.0
A Resin triad is the first three servers in a cluster. The triad offers full replication of distributed data, including distributed caching and distributed sessions.
For sites with a single server, the server is considered a triad server. For sites with two servers, both servers are considered triad servers, and back each other up.
Resin's clustering uses the triad as a reliable store for shared data across the Resin system.
