Hi,
Having a discussion with someone here at work, and I am not sure where I would
even begin to research the topics I need to look into. To begin with our environment
is CF 5, NT 4, Oracle 8i, IIS. Now, we just received 3 new servers and 2 more are on
the way.
The suggested infrastructure is something like this:
--------- -------- --------------- -------- -----------
|multiple | --- |Firewall|--- |3 CF boxes | --- |Firewall| --- |2 Oracle 8i|
|IIS Boxes| --- | |--- |1 as K2 Server | --- | | --- | Servers |
--------- -------- --------------- -------- -----------
Now I don't even know if this is possible or not. Can anyone recommend a good
source of information on
1. Running IIS/CF in a distributed environment
2. Clustering IIS
3. Clustering CF
Also anyone have or know of benchmark information on these subjects? I mean I
can see how the distributed load can reduce the processor hit, but isn't there going
to be some extra time in a page request involved in all the calls to different
machines? I have suggested we do something more traditional along the lines of
multiple boxes with IIS and CF then replicating / load balanced Oracle servers.
Another question. At the last place I worked we had a hardware load balancing
solution, and we just used client vars instead of sessions. How is cluster cats on CF
5? Does it work well? Is it better to just have the different CF servers use the
same client var storage DB?
Any help would be much appreciated.
TIA
