time to cluster, I thinkL

I'm thinking about clustering I read some of the articles on this (bpurcells, and others, etc) and I'm still a bit confused about which is the best way for Entry Level / simple clustering. Right now I have 1 CFMX6.1 Pro license and a single IIS box, sharing MSSQL2K with CF over 2 1Ghz

I'm going to be blasted for this, but clustering is the last resort, not first. 1. Do you have seperate boxes for DB and webserver? (no) 2. Are they maxed in ram? (probably) 3. Are they peaked? (?) 4. Is your network set up tight? (no as it's one server) Just moving the SQL to a new box will

IMHO I think the first step, assuming you only have a budget for 1 extra machine, would be to move your MSSQL installation onto a separate box to free up some more resources for CF. This'll save you a bit too as you should have most of the software licenses you need too. After you've done that

Why do you want to cluster? If it is for reliability, then that is ok. But if you need speed, you may be best off just putting the IIS/CF on one computer and the MSSQL2K on the other computer, since you already have one license of each. The computers are cheaper than the licenses. If you do
