Dear listers,
We're in the process of a 7.0 upgrade and a new hardware
configuration and we're trying to explore our options. I figured this is
likely the best place to ask the pertinent questions. We just bought 3 new
servers, and the plan was to set up a server group to help with load balancing.
My question is what is the best way to handle something like this? We're
totally new to this (we've always run on one production server with the
database on the server) and our initial thought was 2 production servers with
the user load split between the two and the third server as an external
database. I was posed a question today and I'm unsure whether it can be done.
Is it possible (and advisable if it is) to set up two production servers with a
database on each server and have those databases effectively mirror each other
in real time? I'm under the impression that a server grouping reduces stress on
the server, but there is still a bottleneck at the database since all the
servers in the group are using the same db. Anyone out there have experience
with something like this that can point me in the right direction?
Thanks much,
