Hi again. All the great assistance so far has moved me along. I'm still a Linux noob but I've settled on CentOS 4.4 and have it up and running on a test server right now. I'll be testing two scenarios: one with Apache 2.2 and mod_proxy_balancer in front of a mongrel cluster, and another with NGINX in front of a mongrel cluster.
Remeber I have 3 machines with dual, dual-core Xeons and 16gb of ram per server and I want to maximize the performance, 146gb of storage on two and a 73gb mirror with a 600gb raid 5 on the last one (I had intended to use the raid5 for the mySQL database). So I've looked into virtualization a bit to see what the benefits might be and it sounds great. Now I noticed that XenExpress only supports up to 4gb of ram and I understand there may be a mySQL 4gb per process limit as well. I could buy commercial Xen but I found OpenVZ (open source branch of Virtuozzo) and it sounds pretty good too. I understand that each solution accomplishes virtualization in different ways though so any guidance would be appreciated. Also, my initial quess is that I should be able to put about 2 or 3 virtual servers on each machine, including the database server and have the two webservers being fed by a hardware load balancer and accessing the 3rd server for mySQL data. Again, thanks for any guidance! Raul --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Deploying Rails" group.
