Hi, over the last couple of years our infrastructure rose as we needed and now we are thinking about the next steps as the access to the servers grows.
Currently we run a couple of Red Hat EL 5.x LAMP systems (e.g. our webserver, a webmail system, an application server) on 64 Bit hardware (mostly dualcore servers with about 4 GB ram extendable, hardware raid 5, 2* gbit ethernet). My question is, what do you think about using e.g. one server as webserver, the other as mysql server ... so the database traffic will go across the network. So that I have only one service running on one server and not like now the webserver bundled with the database. The most obvious advantage from my point of view: I only have one mysql server to manage and not three or four. (Likewise the webserver) The disadvantage would be the delay accross the network I think. Thanks for any helpful suggestions and best regards Götz -- Götz Reinicke IT-Koordinator Tel. +49 7141 969 420 Fax +49 7141 969 55 420 E-Mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg GmbH Mathildenstr. 20 71638 Ludwigsburg www.filmakademie.de Eintragung Amtsgericht Stuttgart HRB 205016 Vorsitzende des Aufsichtsrats: Prof. Dr. Claudia Hübner Staatsrätin für Demographischen Wandel und für Senioren im Staatsministerium Geschäftsführer: Prof. Thomas Schadt -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
