Hello: I'm very new to clustering in Linux. I run a site that is starting to = catch on and I want to scale up. I mainly run Apache, Qmail and MySQL. = A document server runs a standard RH9.0 ext3 filesystem. I have one box = for MySQL, one for Apache+Qmail, and one for the document server. It's = a start-up company hence the small investment in hardware. Now things = are taking off and I'd like to build more availability/scalability and = manageability into the mix much like Bruce mentions in his OpenSSI = paper. (Which really opened my eyes I might add). I didn't realize = there were so many types of clusters. The OpenSSI approach is = definitely the right way to think. I've spent the better part of 3 days = trying to distill all the components out there and basically ended up = scratching my head until I stumbled across the OpenSSI project....That = said, enough of my babble. Do you have any pointers for a newbie trying to consolidate my above = scenario into a cluster configuration? I'm quite familiar with Linux = and Open Source tools and I'm not afraid of going deep into it. I = completely agree with your approach. I asked the same question when I = started hunting around. Why wouldn't I want all three components in a = cluster solution? I want my cluster to be available, scalable and yes, = manageable. Maybe if you've heard of anyone trying this or know of more = articles to read I'd be greatly appreciative... regards, Dave F. Cook CTO Street Solutions Inc. P.S. Dumb question: How does this project compare to say commercial = offerings from Emic Networks (http://www.emicnetworks.com/) |
