All, I'm building a small cluster that includes the following hardware components:
- 2 load balancers - balances connections between w.a. servers (LVS). - 3 web application servers - runs a simple web application. - 2 storage servers - holds the data generated by the web application. My goal in this project is to create a cost effective high availability infrastructure that is not bound to the traditional "Primary / Secondary " paradigm typically used. The primary idea is that all servers are being fully utilized and are grouped by the type of service that they provide. This modularity would allow hardware components to be added or removed as needed adding inherent reliability and efficient use of hardware. I currently have a technical plan for the load balancers and web application servers, but have been struggling with the best method to implement the storage servers. I would like to have the ability to add storage servers as needed and configure small groups of them to be replicated so that if one of the servers fails or needs maintenance the other(s) will pick up the workload and continue operation without nterruption (server raid). In my limited research I have discovered a large number of available technologies, but have not found a clear solution to meet the requirement of my project. I know that this is a very ambitious effort especially on a very small budget, however I believe that it's possible. Your advice on what file system that would best meet my needs or any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Much Thanks! Nick Pavlica __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
