funding. Do you know of specific problems with JRun that would be a
showstopper? We are not really running high-volume sites, but they are
important enough to required load balancing and failover support.
What is the main reason you have Enterprise if you are not yet using
multiple instances? Have you just not gotten around to using that
feature?
I found some good resources created by Brendan O'Hara. Some of the
steps are a little vague, but I got thru them and was able to create as
many instances as needed. I like the ability to keep the other
developer's code seprate from mine. He is relatively new to CF and
could easily take a server down. I'm pretty experienced with CF, but I
could still take a server down, but it would mainly be on purpose.
Thanks

I run Enterprise on my servers. I don't have anything setup in
the J2EE config today (where you can run multiple instances) but I plan
to setup a new set of servers coming in soon under that config. I also
like the archive and deploy features. I'm not sure if that's an
enterprise-only feature, but it is great for deploying the same
application to multiple servers. It allows you to copy everything-
server settings, dsn's, application folders.
I would also look at deploying against Websphere or another J2EE
package if you go the Enterprise route. JRun is fine, but as you scale
you may want something more robust. I haven't gone that route yet, but
it is under consideration. My company has a very strong relationship
with IBM so we would probably go with Websphere (which is supposed to be
the fastest, most robust J2EE server for CF Enterprise anyway).
Licensing costs are obviously a consideration, but the truth is the
license costs are a small part of the overall investment in enterprise
Web apps.
