    NodeAgent's are the "far" coherence cache applications. They live so that we can utilize Coherence's distributed caching. There are multiple per environment to assist with redundancy.

    In your (web) application, when you interact with a coherence cache, you will be dealing with the 'near' cache. If your near cache cannot satisfy your request, it will check the far cache's if the requested object is present there.
