Hi Felix, At the end of the day I definitely had more outages due to the "high availability" stuff crapping out than I would have had on a single regular box without it.
Aventurin{e} cluster - the 'glass cannon' ... one of the best Michael descriptions I have ever heard! ( This day and age hardware has become so reliable that we rarely see server outages due to busted components. Likewise: Virtualization allows us to have an easily restoreable backup or even a standby-clone of entire VPS's at the ready, which can - in seconds - be fired up when the need arises. Single node / single VPS Aventurin{e} is free. Even an unlimited Aventurin{e} licence isn't expensive. It has to be a no-brainer to virtualise as Michael suggests and cross-backup?
