Dear Portland Ruby Brigade and Portland Pythoneers, There's an upcoming talk at PLUG AT that I think some of you will be interested in: "DRDB HA Clustering on Commodity HW". I've been using DRDB for years on cloud, virtual and physical servers to provide highly-available data services without the expense, hassle and single-point-of-failure issues of a hardware SAN. I recommend learning more about it. -igal Alan wrote: > NOTE: The meeting time and location has changed again. > > PLUG Advanced Topics > December 16th, 2009 > 7pm - 9pm > > Roots Organic Brewing > 1520 Southeast 7th Avenue > Portland, OR 97214-3568 > (503) 235-7668 > > Using DRBD to Build High-Availability Clusters on Commodity Hardware > > Charlie Schluting of LINBIT will explain how DRBD works and how people > currently use it, with enough information to get you started building > your own clusters. > > DRBD stands for Distributed Replicated Block Device, and as the name > implies, allows you to replicate block devices over TCP.
