Well, I am running SQL 2005 Std (which supports clustering), but I would need another SQL 2005 Std license to do a true fault tolerant cluster.
I don't think, without a ton of cash, you will get a true complete fault tolerant setup. You would need 2 different web service providers, 2 separate hosting locations, a web cluster, a DB cluster, etc. Currently my client runs on a very over-shared SQL server and 1 web server, shared bandwidth, and they are generating about 10 gigs of IIS logs every 2 weeks. We are moving them to dual web servers sharing one file source behind a Cisco content switch, and a dedicated SQL 2005 box, with a dedicated T3 line (not all committed rate, but burstable up to the full T3 rate). Its only a single web provider, but we do have a sonnet fiber loop coming right into the server room, so it's at least a redundant line coming up both sides of the road. The web servers will run local jRun clusters, so if I need to make server changes I can do it per-instance and restart that instance without end users seeing any down time. True, its not completely fault tolerant, and is dependant on a single SQL server (which I cannot control), but I think in my current environment it's the best I can get =) Chris Peterson -----Original Message----- From: Russ [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, January 29, 2007 9:42 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Cluster File Management Great idea setting up a clustered environment, and then making it all dependent on a single server. Not only will this be slow, if the SQL server goes, so does the rest of the site. But then again, this is probably already the case since you're probably running the standard version of SQL server which doesn't support clustering. We are in the same boat with the SQL server, and I'm hoping to eventually move off it and go to something like MySQL which supports clustering for free. Either way, if you plan on making your clustered environment last, you probably should not be serving files out of a file share. DFS is a good solution, when it works.
