That depends on what you mean by "software clustering". > If we want a high availabilty > application in Dspace what is the recommended configuration for the servers > and software if any required. Regards, A long time ago, a few of us looked into the feasibility of clustering DSpace, and recorded the results here: http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php/HOWTO_Clustering There are three layers which you may want to cluster, each having a different level of difficulty in implementation: filesystem (relatively easy), tomcat (still reasonably simple), and the database (much harder). The conclusion that I came to about clustering the database was that to do so with open source tools was, at the time, pretty much infeasible. cheers, Jim -- James Rutherford | Hewlett-Packard Limited registered Office: Research Engineer | Cain Road, HP Labs | Bracknell, Bristol, UK | Berks +44 117 312 7066 | RG12 1HN.
