Hi,
My Company is preparing to build a large scale hardware infrastructure to support our new modperl application that we expect will generate quite a bit of traffic.
Our company will be 'betting the farm' on this application and it's ability to handle a lot of users.
 
We will need load balancing with failover and a correctly designed network.
 
We have a great IT department who are already spec'ing this out, but I am wondering if there is a modperl expert around who has experience with large scale modperl applications who could consult on the planning and design of the infrastructure.
 
I am thinking about a day or more where someone could come in and discuss their experience around load balancing and network setup and provide advice to our IT staff. We need someone to advise/suggest/guide and then we will implement. We are considering hardware based systems such as the Cisco CSS Content services switch.
 
We are in Santa Clara, CA (SF bay area) and would prefer someone local although that is not absolutely necessary. (We also have people in Austin TX) What is important is that whoever it is has experience with modperl applications in a high-availability load-balanced environment.
 
We would obviously pay consulting fees. It could be a day or could become more. We need this in the next few days/weeks, so if this interests anyone please let me know soon.
The application consists of one or more front end apache (2.0.x) machines proxypassing to one or more modperl (apache 1.3.x) app servers.
All state info is stored in a single mysql DB at this point, so this is not a 'sticky' application (which could possibly change). We are also accessing MSSQL 2000 data.
 
 
Thanks!
Joe Junkin
