Hello,
I want to do the following: - Setup 2 servers in the exact same way. - make files and mysql sync in real time Server A is the main server, if it fails, Server B needs to take over. Is this possible or am I being plain stupid?
Somebody told me for the construction to work I would need more servers: - 2 mysql servers - 2 dataservers - 2 webservers - 1 loadbalance server Even though this sounds fun to set up, it is slightly over my budget ...
What can I do to keep a "website" online? (I'm having an issue with defective hardware on my current system)
Thanks for your ideas
It might be easier to use some sort of redundant virtualization plataform, vmware (paid) or citrix xen server witch is free and open source.
One good advice i'm gonna give you, unless your hosting a mission to mars at nasa in your server you don't need to go nuts with redundancy, remember that you're gonna be paying at least twice as much with redundancy, get a server with RAID1 and setup scheduled backups in another ftp server somewhere else, servers are very unlikely to fail just like that and if you REALLY need such redundancy prepare your wallet..
