Hi Derrick ,

Do we have a "push button" cluster configuration ?
--------------------------------------------------
The quick answer is no.

Do we have high availability Nuxeo installations in production ?
----------------------------------------------------------------
We currently have some Nuxeo installations in production with high 
availability using multi-JVM packaging, Linux Clusters and and / or 
PGSQL replication.
Deployment configuration heavily depends on the project / client 
requirements :
- depending on hardware available
- depending on hosting skills
- depending on the storage used (Core Repo storage and SQL DB)
- depending on critical data management in the application

Will there be a "push button" cluster configuration ?
-----------------------------------------------------
I am not convinced at all that a JBoss Cluster configuration is the 
answer in all cases.
For example, there is no reason to cluster a Nuxeo stateless packaging : 
simple NLB with session affinity if far better for performance and far 
easier to setup and administer.

JBoss cluster configuration could be an option for stateful packaging, 
but we never had this requirement since we have other solutions to 
handle availability and performance for Core on a single server is not 
an issue.

But technically, a Jboss Cluster configuration for NuxeoEP is possible, 
we will switch to JR.14 in the next weeks on the 5.2.

When will there be a JBoss cluster config ?
-------------------------------------------
Probably when we have this requirement from one of our clients.

Hope this helps,

Tiry
