Which is the Latest Clustering Tools for FreeBSD7.0

2008-01-14 Thread Susanth K
Dear Friends,

Am Interested to know more about the Latest Clustering tools available in
FreeBSD 7.0

What am looking for is Load Balancing cluster + High Availability cluster

Is SG Cluster Still active project ? [http://turtle.ee.ncku.edu.tw/sgcluster/
]
The Pico BSD mentioned in this page is very very old one.
Features of SG Attracted me :
{

Manageable - It is very simple to install and a friendly web user interface
is available to ease the administration.

Single Image - It transparently clusters back-end servers running different
platforms into a single system that appears as a single server to the client

Scalable - The system service capacity can be increased by adding new
servers to the cluster

Load Balancing - It automatically routes incoming requests to the least
loaded servers for optimal performance.

Fault Tolerant - SG load balancer monitors the availability of back-end
servers and only routes client's requests to those alive ones. More than one
load balancers can be setup to avoid the single point of failure in the
whole system.

High Availability - SG cluster can mask the faults on load balancer or
back-end servers if there are sufficient redundancies. It also keeps service
available when doing system upgrad

}

But the package mentioned to setup is very very old.

Any one having experience in Latest Clustering, please point me the Right
URL. (Am very beginner)

Applications am Willing to run in Very Large Scale are :
Apache + PHP + MySQL + FastCGI + C++ Based Custom Web Based Application +
PostgreSQL on Top of FreeBSD 7.0

Thanks in advance.

Me too;-)

I don't know.. and have not used it. Sorry.

 PostgreSQL on Top of FreeBSD 7.0

At my work place we have (FreeBSD based) Juniper DXes as a frontend to Red 
Hat boxes.

With vanilla FreeBSD I could think of CARP/VRRP and pf incl. pfsync for 
redundancy on packet layer and pound as a web frontend (does reverse 
proxy, loadbalancing and heart-beat to mark failed servers). I did this 
before.

I never run MySQL and PostgreSQL clustered, just in master/slave 
replication mode. Clustering at my workplace is done using MS SQL.

We start a bigger Drupal project I am keen to know what PostgreSQL and 
MySQL offer in this regard these days (the MS SQL support in Drupal is a 
bit dubious)

Peter
