I guess that being said, I should add that for true high availability and fail-over you would want to have at least 2 physical servers in some sort of load-balanced config in case of a hardware failure. Note that in a cluster (which can include instances across multiple physical servers) your JRUN connectors provide (non-aware) balancing between a web server (IIS/Apache) and your cluster (application server). If you have multiple web servers you still will need some sort of load-balancing between your users and them.
I guess at some point you have to ask yourself if you are just looking for an easy way to distribute your processing or if 99.999% uptime and fail over for every single possible single point of failure is a requirement. ~Brad -----Original Message----- From: Brad Wood [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 11, 2007 5:15 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Server Cluster I would definitely recommend having multiple JRUN instances of CF on a single OS. If you have crazy code it's just going to take down one instance. Generally I don't think CF servers crash due to OS instability. Why waste the overhead of windows times 5? ~Brad -----Original Message----- From: James Smith [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 11, 2007 4:44 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Server Cluster so would you recomend one server with multiple jrun instances or multiple virtual servers with one on each? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Macromedia ColdFusion MX7 Upgrade to MX7 & experience time-saving features, more productivity. http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion?sdid=RVJW Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:280711 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
